This Skill Mastery resource has been designed for remote aboriginal learners, 14-25 years old, who are undertaking Vocational Educational Training or Employment Pathways. Videos explore three levels of related job roles around:

• expertise in trade based skills and knowledge
• career progression and
• industry and workplace expectations.

To do this we have showcased employees in the workplace: discussing their employment, industry and demonstrating their skills at three career levels: beginner, intermediate and expert/master. The eight employment industries showcased are: Hospitality, Maritime, Civil Engineering, Automotive, Aged Care, Construction, Early Childhood and Conservation Land Management.
