Carine Kapiamba
Manager Employment Engagement
As my job title suggests, my role is all about driving employer engagement. This involves ensuring local employers, industry groups and training providers have a direct line of access to Melaleuca Australia’s Employment Service, working strategically with employers in the pre- and post-employment stage, supporting employers to overcome barriers to employment, working closely with our Senior Employment Mentors to address employment barriers and creating, assessing and negotiating opportunities for training, work experience and job placements.
I’m truly passionate about improving Australia’s unemployment figures, particularly through education as a means to impact social and economic growth. This passion motivated me to establish a vocational strategy to be used as a working tool to address unemployment and grow our economy.
Outside of work, I’m involved in various activities, including a migrant community leader and volunteering at the Multicultural Council of the Northern Territory and Palmerston Migrant Advisory Group. I’m a real people person and love travelling, weekend camping trips and making new friends.
