Workventures

WorkVentures helps unemployed youth get a career start in technology. To do this, we refurbish, sell and support low-cost computers.

WorkVentures is Australia's oldest social enterprise charity with the mission of providing technology and training to those left on the far side of the digital divide.

To achieve our goal of social inclusion through technology, we currently focus on providing vocational ICT skills training for marginalised young people at our professional repair centre in Mascot.

Understanding how to use and apply technology solutions will be key in the decades to come for helping Australia's youth compete for jobs in a global marketplace.

Our partners in this work include dozens of businesses - large and small - who generously:

- Give our trainees jobs in their organisations
- Rely on us for mission-critical ICT repairs
- Gift us with cash grants and technology donations
- Donate their time by mentoring and supporting special projects

We believe:

- Limited resources can't stop us from being successful in life if we don't let them.

- The best trainers and mentors have personally experienced what they teach and can walk their talk.

- Hands-on training is the best way to learn because it's based on your own experience.
