Our Challenge…
Lots of us know how difficult finding a job can be. Imaging trying to do this in another country where you have absolutely no contacts? This is the challenge facing many asylum seekers in Australia today.
Networks are crucial in gaining employment opportunities. Only 20% of jobs in Australia are advertised, the other 80% are found through networks and knowing someone who can help. Networks are particularly difficult for asylum seekers to build, not just because
they are new to this country, but because they lack the basic personal connections and finances needed to participate fully.
Join us on our WORCs journey so we can change this.
Our Solution…
The WORCs Mentoring, Networking and Education project is a low cost and effective way of enabling asylum seekers to develop their professional networks through an interactive online portal. This online environment will see our members connect with professional
mentors who share experiences, tips and employment networks.
We want to:
- Develop partnerships with specialist recruitment agencies
- Match more mentees with professional mentors
- Change people’s lives!
We Need YOU…
