As part of Reo Group’s mission to ‘Lead Change’ we have partnered with B1G1 to help provide technology education and equipment in remote Aboriginal communities. Every time we place a candidate in a role we donate to the Elevate a Nation project to help people in remote areas, without equitable access to digital devices and high speed internet, to realise their potential.
As transformation and automation change the employment landscape and our day-to-day lives, those who don’t have access to digital devices and reliable internet will find it harder and harder to do the everyday things we take for granted. They will find it even harder to compete for jobs. We believe that businesses have the power to make a difference, to give something back to their community. Our Elevate a Nation project was born from the need to reduce the digital divide in Australia that is preventing people without adequate access from realising their potential.
This simple equation is so easy to action. Each candidate placed by Reo Group equals 50 days of technology education for remote Aboriginal communities. Each quarter our donations are updated and translated into action on the ground in Central Australia.
In quarter 3 of FY21/22 we donated 2,900 days of education resulting in tangible benefits for the communities and immense pride and fulfilment for our team, who love to see the impact they are making through their day-to-day work.
Every time we place a candidate we donate 50 days of technology education to remote Australian communities. We do this through the Business for Good platform B1G1, whose concept of buy one, give one makes is easy for businesses to make a difference simply by doing what they usually do. After more than a decade in operation, B1G1 is now a global movement and is a way in which Reo Group can create a legacy and a project the whole team are immensely proud of.
Our donations are put into practice on the ground by not-for-profit enterprises Dot Com Mob and CAYLUS (Central Australia Link Up Youth Services). Together they have set up a network of computer labs across the region, providing equipment, maintenance and expert educators. They are funded by financial donations such as ours via B1G1 and also the donation of equipment from business around Australia. Learning is driven by the lab users, who develop skills at their own pace and in the areas they wish to focus on. Specific equipment has been made available for music production as well as a range of devices such as desktop machines, laptops and ipads that can be used for a wide variety of purposes.
