Social Engine’s (SE) mission is to build life skills and provide work experience that enables ‘at risk’ young people to secure real jobs.
Our primary purpose is to change lives through getting young people into work that matters, but we’re also committed to building awareness of issues surrounding youth unemployment. Our mission is to create a financially viable and sustainable social enterprise that facilitates the ongoing creation of job opportunities for those who need them. Any profits are reinvested in the enterprise to create more jobs for ‘at risk’ youth.
As a unique and multi-faceted social enterprise, our focus is on offering diverse employment opportunities to ‘at-risk’ youth aged 16-25. This currently includes three kinds of businesses – the first is a warehouse located in Dandenong offering warehousing, basic production, packing and distribution. The facility caters to a range of industries and clients which support the logistics for a comprehensive range of PPE and workwear products supplied to the building and construction sector.
SE also operates two cafes in central Melbourne, these sites train our youths in hospitality and retail while developing a catering offering for the surrounding businesses.
To achieve our mission SE is partnering with some key not-for-profit partners and community minded corporate partners.
