As NAIDOC Week 2025 draws to a close, we celebrate this year’s theme “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision and Legacy” by sharing the story of Ross Rosas, a proud Indigenous man from Herberton, Far North Queensland. After years of travelling to Western Australia for work, Ross found an opportunity to return home and stay close to family through training with Australian Training Works (ATW) and securing full-time employment on the Genex Kidston Pumped Storage Hydro Project. Through hands-on skills development in machinery operation and safety, Ross not only built a career but gained financial stability, invested in his family’s future, and laid the groundwork for a cultural tourism venture and off-grid living on Country. Ross’s journey shows how an embedded Indigenous Engagement Strategy in infrastructure projects can create lasting economic and social impact across northern Australia. 📽 Watch the video below and read Ross’s full story here 👉🏽 https://lnkd.in/gAUEZdya #NAIDOC2025 #TheNextGeneration #Genex #ATW #NAIF #InvestingForImpact #NorthernAustralia #Infrastructure Genex Power Australian Training Works Group McConnell Dowell John Holland Powerlink Queensland
