Youth Employment Project
The Colin Biggers & Paisley Foundation believes in strong and active participation in the communities in which we operate, both as individuals and as a legal practice. We strive to involve all our people in community programs and initiatives that make a substantial and positive difference. We organise and participate in a range of professional and general volunteering.
Our signature volunteering project is
Youth Employment Project (
YEP).
We currently work with
ASPIRE,
Boundless and
CareerTrackers to help us meet our objectives for this program.
YEP involves a variety of projects including mentoring, work experience, internships, CV and interview skills workshops, and scholarships.
Using our resources and skills we will jointly deliver a range of skills workshops and career programs in our offices. Through engaging and practical workshops designed to equip students to apply for a job, build a CV and present themselves in an interview it is intended to help students develop skills required to secure employment.
YEP is about adopting a whole company approach, utilising the skills of all our staff to help young and disadvantaged Australians with the skills and support they need to kick start their career.
