Purpose & Growth

Why we exist: Purpose and Growth Initiatives provides job skills and employment to people who are underserved in the Australian employment market such as refugees, veterans, and once-troubled young people, while providing a competitive return to potential investors. How we do it: P&G Growth provides manufacturing employment to individuals in underserved communities, validating some of their previous experiences, and providing them with their initial Australian work experience. It is a traditional profit-maximizing company. A portion of P&G Growth’s profits fund the nonprofit P&G Purpose. P&G Purpose collaborates with each employee of P&G Growth to identify their employment goals outside of P&G Growth. After these goals are identified, bespoke development plans are created for each individual. P&G Purpose fill the gaps in each development plan through internal resources or by contracting other providers. After training and development is complete, P&G Purpose engages other companies to place these individuals in jobs outside of P&G Growth that match their preferences.
