The Smith Family looking for help
Recently a certain scribe and his mate were invited to a Smith Family breakfast, and we received this lovely note afterwards. Its worth reading and reflecting on how Rotarians are helping the community...and there's a video link worth listening to at the end.
Hoping that yesterday provided you with some insight around the work of The Smith Family and the importance of local businesses and individuals supporting our young people to excel at school and work.
There are a number of ways in which you, as an individual or as a business, can get involved and we welcome an opportunity to talk to you in more detail about these:-
- Host a group of students in your workplace for a tour. Groups of 10-20 students can spend half a day or a day at your workplace and learn more about your business and industry. Find out more about our Work Inspiration program here www.workinspiration.com.au
- Be a guest speaker. We have opportunities to engage with students so that you can share your career journey and profession.
- Become a mentor. Help inspire a young person to achieve their education and career goals.
- Participate in mock interview programs.
- Recruit a school-based apprentice or cadet. It’s a win-win for businesses and young people. Contact us to learn more about these initiatives.
- Showcase your business/industry at school expos.
Please reach out to me if you would like to support any of the above initiatives. You can also assist by spreading the work to others within your business networks who may be interested in supporting local young people.
