Community Outreach
Ebenezer Aboriginal Corporation
Directions proudly supports its community.
Directions was pleased to support Ebenezer Aboriginal Corporation during the Christmas season
Beyond their employment services, Ebenezer provides temporary housing and essential support for women and children - a vital service year-round and especially at Christmas. We donated gifts to Ebenezer representative Rob Beattie. These small packages will help brighten the lives of children in need.
We’d like to give a special thank you to Rob and the Ebenezer team for the important work you do. We’re honoured to support your community programs.
HeartKids
Directions Workforce Solutions made a proud Christmas gift donation to HeartKids Limited. We'd also like to thank all our Host Companies that supported us in this donation.
Directions provided over a hundred presents to children in need.
HeartKids is a wonderful charity that supports children born with congenital heart disease and their families through practical help, information, peer connection and advocacy.
HeartKids works to improve the quality of life for children facing heart conditions and to support the families who care for them.
Heart Kids is a cause we strongly resonate with, and we’re proud to play a small part in bringing some extra joy to families this year.
Norbert College
Directions was pleased to support the students at St Norbert College in their charitable and community work in the Kimberley.
Students travelled to the Kimberley to help in the community at kitchens, sport, community events and for the Remote Area Op Shop Program.
To assist them in their Immersion, Directions donated a quantity of goods including toiletries and personal hygiene products and thongs.
Apprentice Advisors Kevin and Jess delivered the donations in readiness for their imminent departure for the north west.
Career Directions Careers Expos
Launched in 2018 the Career Directions careers expo is an annual event hosted and funded by Directions to provide a unique opportunity for Wheatbelt regional students and jobseekers of all ages to access career and training information, employment service support and engage with employers with real jobs all in one place.
The expo has a particular emphasis on indigenous employment and training opportunities.
The event was the first of its kind and has grown to over 50 exhibitors showcasing opportunities across a wide range of industries and occupations, apprenticeships and traineeships, and education opportunities from vocational through to universities across WA.
The event is hugely popular with regional high schools, who bus in student groups for the event.
Supporting volunteering
Directions actively encourages and facilitates our apprentices and trainees to undertake volunteer work with suitable organisations, particularly when circumstances such as injury or breaks in on the job training such as shut downs – a more common feature recently in a pandemic affected economy - occur.
Directions believes these community experiences contribute to building great employees and future leaders as well as great tradespeople and technicians.
Feeding the community
As a charity ourselves, we know how much need is in our community and how much difference a little help can make in a lot of lives.
Directions supports organisations who are providing practical, grass roots help in the regions we operate.
For several years now Directions has funded winter soup kitchens as well as assisting with food relief efforts and Christmas meals for those doing it tough, through St Joseph’s in Northam and Dreambuilders Care in Midland.
