About The NT Youth Employer Toolkit

Through our local Greater Darwin Community Investment Committee, we have collaborated with local Employers, Young People, Registered Training Organisations, Government departments and a diverse range of local stakeholders who are all invested in Young People in the Northern Territory to help create an Employer Toolkit that is full of information, resources, links and supports, to help build employer confidence to hire and retain Young People in the workplace.

As valued employers of Young People or those looking to hire Young People for the first time, the Employer Toolkit has everything you need at your fingertips to become employer champions for our amazing Young Territorians.

Empowering our youth with clear onboarding and equipping ourselves with robust employer resources has transformed our recruitment process from a daunting challenge into a confident investment in our future. For any small business navigating the crucial yet complex world of hiring, particularly for young talent, these tools are invaluable.
