Chandler Macleod believes that every person, team and organisation has potential, and that we are the best people to help them unleash it. Supporting individuals to unleash their potential benefits teams, organisations and our our wider communities.
A sometimes-overlooked diversity group is young carers. Young carers are people under the age of 25 who care for a close relative or direct family member who typically has a disability. We believe in supporting young carers with our Launchpad Project which helps to provide mentoring, training and support to help young people succeed.
What is the Launchpad Project?
The Launchpad Project is a Chandler Macleod Group initiative which aims to increase the participation of young carers in the workplace by providing mentoring, 1:1 support and training opportunities. Chandler Macleod will leverage their expertise in the area of HR and recruitment, as well as their corporate networks, to uncover opportunities for engaging and flexible work to support the needs of young carers.
Every person enrolled in the Launchpad project will be matched to available jobs that are aligned to their interests using Augmented Intelligence (AI) and data analytics.
Launchpad is a new and empowering project delivered by Chandler Macleod in partnership with IBM, Curtin University and the University of Queensland.
The aim is to provide an innovative approach generating opportunities for you to pursue employment and financial independence.
This project is available to all young people who are born between 1 Jan 2002 and 31 Dec 1993 (16 - 25 years) and identify themselves as a Carer.
