plan 2day 4 2morrow
Plan 2day 4 2morrow (P242) is a pre-employment program assisting Indigenous job seekers in the Perth Metropolitan, South West, Great Southern and Goldfields regions of Western Australia.
P242 focuses on improving employability of Indigenous job seekers through the development of foundation skills and work readiness. Program delivery combines weekly pre-employment group sessions (Fit 4 Work and Stronger Communities) delivered from our Lathlain Community Facility with individual mentoring support.

Fit 4 Work sessions incorporate presentations from potential employers, complimentary service providers (including health/mental health) with physical activity, mock interviews, budgeting sessions, Assessment Centres for multiple roles and promotion of healthy lifestyle choices. The Foundation’s mentors deliver the weekly program and provide mentoring support for participants whilst also improving the health and wellbeing of attendees.
Stronger Communities builds capacity within the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community by working with participants to develop strategies that overcome vocational and non-vocational barriers. The program connects participants with appropriate services to ensure they have the best opportunity in achieving their goals. Stronger Communities provides wrap around support by collaborating with government and non-government organisations such as Curtin Tax Clinic, Aboriginal Legal Service, Services Australia, Moorditj Koort, North Metropolitan TAFE and Department of Justice to achieve positive, long-term outcomes for participants.
The individual mentoring component of the program is guided by the development of an Individual Pathway Plan; identifying interests, competencies, barriers to employment and training needs. Individual mentoring and support is offered from entry into the program through to six-months post-employment placement.
P242 program mentors are connecters and advocators, breaking down barriers of employment, between participants and industry. Our employment programs offer workplace mentoring and post placement support once a jobseeker is placed into employment.
Waalitj Foundation community hub in Lathlain provides a ‘drop in centre’ service to Aboriginal participants so that they can access cultural and career support even after their P242 placement has completed.
