Pathway to Employment Pilot
Australia is facing a youth employment crisis.
Accelerated by COVID-19, an economic downturn and a lack of graduate opportunities have created uncertainty and anxiety for their future prospects.
With an economic downturn, comes a slowdown of our collective progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Achieving sustainability, equality and diversity in society requires us to first empower our youth with the knowledge and opportunities to reach their potential. Only then will we see the SDGs become a tangible reality.
How can we harness giving to widen the pathway to employment?
Decent Work & Economic Growth is the goal. Quality Education is the solution.

How did it work?
From July to December 2021, Communiteer, in partnership with AVI, brought together university students and corporate volunteers for a mentoring and skilled volunteering program.
We built our cause-based community around Sustainable Development Goal 4; Quality Education and 8; Decent Work & Economic Growth.
This pilot proved to be hugely successful in its engagement of universities, corporates and not-for-profits, strengthening the pathway to employment for students in need.
Mentoring is now included as a core offering of our university program. Learn more by clicking below!
