MTC was established in 1989 in Marrickville by a team of just three. Now, it is a group of 450 dedicated people working at more than 50 locations across New South Wales, the ACT, and Queensland. Every year it supports 20,000 people with new skills, confidence, and opportunities.
Gilimbaa was delighted to work with the team to create a new motif artwork for its Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) and design/layout the RAP document. The artwork, ‘Walking Together Towards Reconciliation’ was created by David Williams for this purpose.
Artwork Story:
This artwork represents MTC FutureReady’s journey, our people, and the communities we support. We walk beside people for as long as they need, with a commitment to empathy, inclusion, and growth. Flowing pathways across the piece reflect the many journeys taken by clients, employees, and partners; connected through learning, achievement, and shared aspirations.
Each section of the artwork signifies different stages of the journey: the first steps of learning, growth that comes through opportunity, and the pride felt when goals are achieved. Pathways surrounding the artwork show that while everyone’s story is unique, by walking alongside we provide people with the support needed to create the future they choose.
Cultural elements throughout the artwork acknowledge our commitment to reconciliation and the inclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices and
perspectives. The interconnected designs highlight partnership and collaboration, recognising the strength that comes from listening deeply, celebrating culture, and building lasting connections across communities.
