In this insightful episode, Nicole Dwyer, CEO of Workskil Australia, provides a comprehensive overview of their initiatives supporting disadvantaged job seekers. The organization's impact is demonstrated through various successful programs, including their corrections employment initiative that significantly reduced reoffending rates from 60% to 30%.
Nicole discusses the critical challenges faced by job seekers, particularly housing insecurity, with 17% of their caseload identifying as homeless, leading to Work Skill Australia's $7.6 million investment in affordable housing units.
