WorkVentures plays a key role in creating positive social impact for individuals and communities across Australia. We combat youth unemployment through our traineeship and work placement programs. We help bridge the digital divide by focusing on digitally excluded communities. We promote a circular economy by combating the environmental impact of e-waste.
By measuring the social impact created through our work and programs, we are better equipped to ensure the success of our endeavours and continue to build and improve.
