WISE - Work Integrated Social Enterprise - our work pathway.

With funds from Government and Philanthropy as well as strong collaborations with expert agencies and private business we are able to create pathways to employment for CALD groups whilst a key focus is young people who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing we also engage all those of a working age who may be Deaf. This is a direct employment program.

Inspired originally by conversations with Victorian College for the Deaf and other organisations that support CALD, Deaf and Hard of Hearing we are creating experiences that develop employability skills, micro enterprise ideas, sector skills in community development, garden maintenance, cooking and importantly soft skills around empathy, emotional intelligence, growth mindsets and work readiness.   

23 People have taken part in the program between Feb 23 and August 24 !

As an accredited Social Enterprise we provide solutions for employment whilst balancing our social justice lens with the ability to sell a product. For us that product is our Hortus Garden Design and Maintenance Services, supply of produce from the Burwood Brickworks Rooftop Garden and cooking based fee for services.
