Listening to @balendran tell his story at @DisabilityEmplt Conference. He starts with “how many of you have been shot six times?” A refugee, no education, no English but one person believed him and skipped the paperwork for a uni course.

Demand for digital skills has increased significantly but 66% of young people globally don’t have skills needed for the future says @JanOwenAM . But there can be human connection in digital skills - students teaching teachers, grandchildren teaching grandparents. @IepInfo Summit

Cath Scarth from AMES speaking at the @IepInfo Employability Summit highlights that the definition of good quality work is different for multicultural communities & we need to be careful that we don’t force a white western definition on it #employment

“I was the black sheep in my family…lupus took my life from me…my world crumbled.” Michael took the wrong path & ended in prison. He joined the program in Ravenhall & met the teachers of life. #rebuild

Great to learn more about the impact of @ymcavictoria Rebuild project at breakfast today. Amazing social enterprise giving young women and men a bridge to employment after prison.

“It’s a second chance opportunity” says one young woman. “Some of the boys can be a bit cheeky, but Rebuild shows them love,” says former participant now in mainstream employment. #Rebuild

Thanks to @BraybrookA for her deeply moving presentation at #JACONFERENCE23 Aboriginal women have been silenced, sidelined & made to feel inferior BUT they are powerful and they fight. We must do more https://t.co/lJSxiLRJ02

Kristian Dauncey @KnoxbrookeToday shares that to make money and do social good is infinitely difficult. What we do as social enterprises is so much harder the the commercial world. Drive mission with profit. 💜#JACONFERENCE23

Carmel Crouch Chair @JobsAustLtd says not for profit orgs working in employment need to embrace their collective superpowers and ensure their voices are heard to inform government policy #JACONFERENCE23

How do we improve communication to multicultural communities? “If we don’t have you at the table we can’t do it. We need multicultural voices working in partnership” says Veema Mooniapah. @WBFCFoundation cultural diversity week breakfast.

[Renee Hancock @ReneeHancock1]

It is a national shame that children as young as 10 can be locked up for offences committed in this country, as prison is no place for a child & will have a profound and long-lasting negative impact on their life. Read my piece in @theage https://t.co/ioQJfDPy3e #RaiseTheAge

[Renee Hancock @ReneeHancock1]

At @LT_Foundation we know that schools need more resources and support to do this important work. Our Positive Futures program complements school wellbeing teams to ensure students have the right supports to stay engaged in their education. @JamesMerlinoMP

Highest unmet need for mental health and well-being support is in Victorian education settings. Schools need to play a stronger role according to #RCMentalHealth
