Fostering Inclusivity And Empowerment In The Workplace

Prepare to be inspired and empowered at Endeavour Foundation’s Business Solutions Employment Showcase, a remarkable event designed to open doors to fulfilling work opportunities for individuals living with disability. This unique event offers you an exclusive glimpse into the incredible efforts of the Endeavour Foundation team, showcasing their dedication and expertise in various work areas, such as assembly work, document destruction, and even painting of stakes and pegs. It's a chance to witness firsthand the achievements and support available in a supportive workplace environment.

At its core, the Employment Showcase is all about providing individuals with disability a place to thrive, gain support, and find a profound sense of purpose. It's an occasion for individuals with disability to shine, showcasing their skills and abilities across various vocational areas.

Nora, an Endeavour Foundation employee, has dedicated 44 years of her life to the organisation.

Crystal, another valued employee at Endeavour Foundation, is passionately dedicated to her role. In the tagging department, she intricately places strings on tags that serve critical roles in the mining and construction industries. Payne Print, a valued commercial customer of Endeavour Foundation, entrusts the team with this task.

"I feel happy when I'm here," Crystal said. "My workmates keep me smiling because they are funny to talk to." Her feelings resonate with the vibrant, supportive, and enriching environment that Endeavour Foundation creates.

Blackwoods are another organisation who support the Endeavour Foundation.

“Blackwoods has a proud history of supporting businesses within the community and are committed to supporting Endeavour Foundation Industries’, a local not for profit business providing opportunities for people with disability to work, develop skills, earn an income, explore their interest and be involved in the community.”

The Employment Showcase is not only a chance to witness Endeavour Foundation’s Mackay social enterprise in action, but it's also an opportunity for the community and local businesses to explore how they can become part of this remarkable journey. Supported Employment is a beautiful symbiosis, providing local businesses tailored business solutions while creating opportunities for people with disability.

This event unites a community that values diversity, inclusion, and the incredible potential each individual holds.

Join us for the Employment Showcase on October 27th, 2023, from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM at Endeavour Foundation Business Solutions, 22 David Muir Street, Slade Point. Please call 07 4955 1533 to RSVP.
