Pathways Our Way Academy

The Pathways Our Way Academy, known as POWA, supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to complete training or traineeships in a variety of roles and qualifications. These include:

Empowering Mob, Creating Pathways

School-based training

In 2022-2023, we have had 42 school-based trainees, 27 non-school-based trainees and seven other community members undertake traineeships and work-readiness programs with IUIH.

Pathways in Allied Health

POWA works with schools to ensure Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander learners in years 10-12 are aware of, and can opt to apply for a training pathway in allied health, with the opportunity to join our team in a vast range of roles with IUIH across the allied health sector.

Working with RTOs

In 2022-2023, we have had 42 school-based trainees, 27 non-school-based trainees and seven other community members undertake traineeships and work-readiness programs with IUIH.

Intergenerational traineeships

Below is a video of the story of two of our trainees explaining the benefits of a POWA traineeship through IUIH within the intergenerational program. Find out what they did next!

We honour Our Ancestors and those who have walked before us in paving the way.
