| Partnership Objectives and Outcomes The Agreement has three main objectives: • to improve Indigenous education, training and economic participation; • enhancing Indigenous health, safety and lifestyle; and • sharing of party resources. Under these objectives, the Agreement provides for several 'core outcomes' of achievement. These include: • building the capacity of Batchelor; • ensuring the relevance of course provision and consolidating service provision, particularly within the Higher Education sectors and Vocational Education and Training (VET); • increasing employment opportunities for graduates of courses; • research and evaluation to inform public policy and service delivery methods; and • structures and processes that facilitate communication and promote efficiency.
