They told us: "What has happened since joining GROW in 2018 is how quickly and efficiently we’ve been able to make connections. This has led to a range of outcomes including job carving, enabling employment of young people with barriers to work. We have looked at social enterprises and changed our spending habits. We are now part of a collective approach to creating more inclusive working environments that supports diverse employees." Read more here: https://grow.g21.com.au/2020/08/good-news-story-2.

16.01.2022 Great to see so many in the GROW Action Network Meeting today. Wonderful to hear from partners Good Cycles and @NorrisConstructionGroup on how they are working together on their social procurement partnership and helping trainees develop new skills and change lives. Interesting to hear how important mentoring support and developing relationships is crucial to this development.
