Preparing for Employment Workshop for Red Cross' Job Cafe Volunteers

To support Red Cross volunteers at their Job Café, Red Cross wanted to run a ‘Preparing for Employment Project’ which would utilise the knowledge and expertise of a small team of corporate volunteers to teach Red Cross volunteers from a non-HR background about common themes and issues occurring in employment. This would better equip the Job Cafe volunteers with the skills and knowledge to better perform their roles and address client needs more effectively.

Reconciliation Action Plan for Meerilinga

Meerilinga had drafted a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) and was in need of a volunteer to help them review and finalise it, to enable them to better serve those in the community. They also required support to develop an implementation plan for the RAP. The objectives within the RAP needed to be achievable so it could be implemented easily and transform the way Meerilinga delivers services. It also needed to be flexible so it can be implemented across Meerilinga’s seven sites in both Whadjuk and Ballardung regions of the Noongar people.
