Workplace Giving Scheme

With the introduction of our work place giving scheme, we set out to find charities that cover all three of our CSR objectives, "making an impact on our people, our world and our environment".

Oxfam, the Cancer Council and Australian Childhood Fund were selected in line with our mission for change and we endeavor to raise enough funds through workplace giving and fund raising activities to help change the life of 30 underprivileged children, help 5 communities in developing countries and raise $4000 towards cancer research. These programs aim to improve not only the communities we live in but the lives of many people in communities far and near.

We continue to monitor and adjust our targets and include individual suggestions towards positive change from our staff members. All staff are offered the opportunity to submit suggestions for their charity or program of choice increasing the awareness, participation and success of our workplace giving scheme.

 

Back to Work BBQs

For employers and Indigenous job seekers, ESH host Back to Work BBQ’s to enable employers and Indigenous job seekers the opportunity to meet over a relaxed, informal BBQ lunch to discuss employment opportunities. 

 

Job Fairs

Bringing Industry to Job Seekers - Hosted at our Centres, the Job Fair successfully brings together local employers, training organisations, NEIS providers and jobseekers to secure employment and self employment placements. Employers and providers describe their work environment and opportunity and are then given the chance to meet one on one to discuss potential placements over morning tea.

Aspire Youth Career Grant

For many young people, chasing a dream career can be a big challenge stepping out into a new world of study, work and often traveling long distances to pursue goals. It can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be an impossible one.

To help kick-start the careers of the next generation of professionals, IPA has teamed up with the Townsville City Council to develop the IPA Aspire Youth Career Grants. Both organisations have committed $25,000 each per year over three years, to assist young people in Townsville aged 15 to 23 years get started in their chosen career path. Each recipient receives $2000 towards their chosen field and provides the youth with an opportunity to succeed.

Assistance can range from providing funding for textbooks, attending special training courses and conferences or work experience and mentoring programs.

 

Impulsive Youth Exhibition Townsville

IPA Personnel in Townsville has been supporting emerging artists in Townsville through Impulsive IPA Youth Exhibition.

The project was the outcome of a call for young artists aged 18 - 35 years to participate in a group youth art exhibition. Artists were asked to submit an artwork proposal for the exhibition which was mixed medium and open theme. The exhibition was named 'Impulsive" by one of the artists, Jemma Murray and the exhibition was opened on 10th October by IPA Queensland General Manager, Rabieh Krayem. Works by 16 young artists were exhibited between 10 - 18 October in Townsville included paintings, sculptures, drawings and photographs.
