About On-Country Academy

On-Country Academy (OCA) is a registered training organisation (RTO) and a part of the Terra Rosa Consulting (TRC) group. It is a start-up RTO which aims to work with and support the communities and the industry in which it operates. This includes the aim to be aspirational and ambitious in its approach to engage with its communities to create a seamless approach to training that leads to long-term career prospects for its students and transform the manner in which community members link their training with future careers.

‘FIND-TRAIN-PLACE-MANAGE’

OCA will find the candidates through its connections and partnerships and then provide appropriate training that leads to career outcomes through the organisations of role and job placements in advance, and then the management of participants to provide upskilling and training to manage its community to grow in their careers. This can be further training for higher level courses, articulation into university programs and capacity to broaden and deepen the skillsets.

The courses and delivery of OCA courses will have a focus on all domestic students, particularly the members of the indigenous communities with which TRC works, and aims to deliver quality training in a flexible manner to ensure real outcomes are achieved.

OCA will also provide internal training to its field officers to ensure they are well-equipped to undertake their roles within the communities and safely in remote locations.
