Cape York Employment
OVERVIEW Cape York Employment (CYE) is the Community Development Program (CDP) provider in Aurukun and Coen (Region 60) and Lockhart River (Region 56 – Central Cape). CDP is a remote community program that prepares jobseekers for work while contributing to the goals of the community. Through integrated case management, CYE tailors a package of assistance for each jobseeker based on their individual needs and readiness for employment, and supports them to realise their goals and aspirations. CYE’s voluntary activities, shaped by intensive community engagement, are designed to support local communities through the development and application of local solutions. They are also responsive to available and future employment opportunities. CYE recognises the limited opportunities currently available within the Cape York economy and also supports jobseekers to orbit into employment beyond their communities.
