Who We Are, What We Do

For 30 years Bridging the Gap (BTG) has been

firmly embedded in WA’s local communities

providing a diverse range of Federal and State

funded programs to deliver employment, career

development and training services through

partnerships with community based organisations

across the Perth to Peel region.

With offices in Rockingham, Kwinana, Spearwood,

Wembley, Mandurah and an award winning

community nursery and training facility in

Casuarina (Ngulla Training & Community Centre),

BTG aims to develop and grow people and

communities by providing caring and innovative

lifelong learning and development opportunities

and employment services.

Over 6000 people access BTG’s range of

employment and community services annually,

and BTG has a track record of consistently

achieving outcomes for our clients. With regards

to our major contracts BTG is currently in the top

10 per cent of providers nationally for Job

Services Australia (JSA) delivery and the only

Perth based agency awarded a five star rating for

the whole Employment Services Area from the

Department of Employment.

Additionally, BTG boasts the highest

commencement and outcome rates for Youth

Connections delivery in Western Australia.

From the Chair

Each year seems to bring its own special challenges and successes. The past year

has seen a dramatic expansion of Bridging the Gap’s employment services

contracts. Our Mandurah office has grown from zero job services clients to now

be the biggest office in the Bridging the Gap network. The more established

offices in Rockingham, Kwinana, Cockburn and Spearwood have continued to be

rated at the highest levels of any job service provider across Australia. The year

has required acquisition of new premises in Mandurah and the board is looking

to expand into other areas through next year.

Changing governments mean changing policies and the highly successful Youth

Connections Program which assists students transitioning from school into work

will finish at the end of this year. Bridging The Gap though will not abandon these job seekers and is

continually seeking new opportunities and initiatives such as our Crossing Point to assist young people. In

addition we have established a successful academy in Kwinana to identify local employers’ needs and train

potential employees to fulfil those requirements, and in the next year we will expand the concept

throughout the southern suburbs.

The biggest challenge for the remainder of 2014 will be to successfully tender for the next employment

services contract. The new contract will be substantially different from our current offering and we will

need to further hone and develop our staff and management skills to be successful in winning and

implementing this new direction.

We have had considerable board and management changes over the past year and I thank those who have

left us and served us so well. I am particularly pleased with the strengthening of board capability through

the addition of marketing and financial skills and strong community connections in the cities of Mandurah,

Rockingham and Kwinana.

In particular I would like to thank our CEO Colin Kerr for his strong leadership and guidance. The staff, the

management and board look forward to celebrating a successful year for Bridging The Gap’s 30th year of

operations.

From the CEO

This year has been one of the busiest years in our history for all staff at Bridging

the Gap with increases in our employment services, new initiatives for services

to community and managing the ceasing of a number of funded programs. With

consultant Tammy Tansley we embarked upon an analysis of our internal

systems and have undergone a structural and cultural change so that we are

prepared for the future.

Financially we have seen pleasing turn around since the previous year. The

improvement is due to increased business and performance in job services, as

well as new business streams.

Our delivery in Job Services Australia has more than doubled since last year with

significant increases in our business share in Central West Metro and Mandurah / Pinjarra resulting in over

6000 unemployed seeking assistance while our Disability Employment Service has in excess of 250. This

demonstrates a significant increase in servicing our community with a total of over 7500 walking through

our doors in the year.

The next financial year will see Youth Connections (youth), Aspire (Intergenerational families) and Kwinana

Academy (community employment support) initiatives cease due to the Australian Government funding

ceasing. Additional research and work is being done currently to find other sources of funding to continue

delivery of such needed services. Together these programs engage more than 700 people from our local

community with continuing support to assist them into employment or training.

Our continuing commitment to the development of partnerships and alliances saw great success as well as

new partnerships being established. We hosted Raleigh International’s annual “Asia Pacific Conference”

which saw delegates from the UK, China, Hong Kong, Sabah, Malaysia, New Zealand, Kuala Lumpur,

Singapore and Australia attend. In conjunction with the main conference a Leaders Luncheon hosted 86

local stakeholders, supported by City of Rockingham.

Recycling of bicycles addressed the challenge of engaging youth and with Dismantle as a partner we are

now delivering this joint initiative to a variety of groups. MercyCare gave us the opportunity to be involved

in the Affordable Housing for Life initiative where together there is an opportunity for homeless youth to

obtain employment.

To prepare our business for the future, we are diversifying our income streams by creating ways of

marketing our expertise to the wider community. We are also developing waste recycling and other

products under the Green Collective brand.

5-Star Service Provider

At Bridging the Gap we pride ourselves on providing a

trusted and personalised service, because we genuinely

care about building our community one person at a

time.

The Job Services Australia (JSA) team has gone from

strength to strength over the year. This year we have

assisted more people into work than ever before. The

Rockingham, Wembley and Spearwood teams have

retained their 5-star rating from the Department of Employment for the second year running.

The Mandurah office started the year servicing around 50 Disability Employment Service clients, then in

July the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations offered us new business with the

delivery of Job Services Australia working with approximately 590 clients. Early in 2014 we were again

offered a very large allocation of business covering Mandurah and Pinjarra. So in the space of a year the

Mandurah office grew from servicing around 50 clients to around 2090 clients!

Bridging the Gap placed 280 people into work experience over the year

Care and Persistence Pay Off

Cameron* was about 45 when he came to Bridging the Gap in 2010, suffering from alcoholism. His

Employment Advisor Kelly set him up at AA meetings, and over the course of their work together, Kelly

discovered that he had enjoyed working as a carer 20 years ago. Through our relationship with a local Aged

Care provider, Kelly and the provider supported Cameron as he completed his Certificate III in Aged Care.

“We followed up with Cameron every second day as he

was doing the course, and noticed a big improvement in

his motivation” Kelly said. So she arranged work

experience for him which resulted in Cameron being

offered a job there.

Cameron worked at the Aged Care facility for one and a

half years before he fell off the wagon. He came back to

Bridging the Gap after losing his license for drink

driving. Kelly got him back to the AA meetings, and

organised for him to attend a series of Bridging the Gap

training sessions to improve both his work readiness and

his job seeking skills. When he secured an interview, our

trainer helped him practice his interview skills.

Cameron got the job. He has been working there happily and productively for more than 6 months at the time

of writing.

Getting People Into Work

PAGE 13

Page 14: Annual Report 2013-2014

Academy for Community Employment

The Academy for Community Employment offers an innovative

approach to employers’ recruitment needs. By using local

workforce talent, employers are able to select and recruit

candidates who have been prepared for their industry and

more specifically tailored to suit their company culture and

organisational values.

The academy was born in July 2013, funded by the Australian

Government Department of Human Services through the Better Futures, Local Solutions initiative.

Between then and the end of the financial year the academy registered 55 candidates, 53 of whom

achieved their Passport to Employment and 37 of those graduates secured sustainable employment.

TJ’s Story

“My culture is different to Australia and here at the Academy I got real help. I

want to say special thanks to Caroline—she helped me a lot to find a job and to

lodge my permanent resident file. Now I am working full time and I am so

happy from my job. I have two degrees from my country but was unable to find

work for a long time. I undertook some training in the beauty industry and was

able to secure a job in waxing with a business partner of the Academy. It’s

because of their connections and the advice received from the Academy that I

got the job.”

TJ—Academy Graduate

David’s Story

“Hi Academy Team, and thanks for the follow-up. Things are good. It's a pretty

convivial atmosphere and the other guys have been supportive as I learn the

ropes. This is a photo of me picking and packing! The only real pain is the

commute, as I seem to be headed trafficwards both ways! Getting used to it,

though, just so glad to be working full time and earning again the traffic is

nothing really. Thank you again for all your help and support. I was frankly

amazed by how prompt and insightful you were, and how interested in the

specifics of my situation. Getting such individualised support made all the

difference. All the best thank you again.”

Crossing Point

Bridging The Gap’s Crossing Point program inspires young people

from our communities to make positive changes to their lives and

those around them by challenging them to be all that they can be. It

is aimed at teenagers who are struggling with attendance at school.

We take them on a transformational journey that will see the

development of core leadership skills and provide the confidence to

take control of their lives.

The uniqueness of our Crossing Point program comes from the

combination of different activities that create a journey for each young person, culminating in career

development, leadership skills development and the challenge of an overnight hike and camp. We have

the flexibility to deliver any or all parts of the program. Our “classroom” is not just in the classroom but

also at the outdoor facility at Fairbridge.

This last financial year Bridging the Gap has engaged and challenged 36 young people to step out of their

comfort zone, build on their strengths and conquer their fears, and develop the skills to confidently pursue

employment or education opportunities.

In November 2013 Bridging the Gap hosted the Raleigh International Asia Pacific conference, with funding

from the City of Rockingham. 43 young leaders from around the world gathered in Rockingham for a

weekend dedicated to the latest local and global citizenship activities driven by groups of committed

people intent on making a difference in their world.

Also in November Bridging the Gap organised a Leaders Luncheon attended by 86 people to learn about

global, national, state and local initiatives are engaging young people.

FUELLS

The FUELLS or Future Understanding of Education and Lifelong Learning Skills aims to provide young people

with the skills, knowledge and practical experience that will enable them to re-engage with alternative

education. It was developed by youth workers with solid experience of the often complex barriers facing our

youth that prevent them from attending school.

In early 2014 we ran FUELLS programmes in Mandurah and Rockingham for 18

students. In the tailored semester-long programmes the young people learned

practical skills such as budgeting, healthy eating, caring for mental health,

communication skills, health and safety and job seeking skills. Most graduated

with a Certificate I in Work Preparation, and many went on to further learning

at TAFE or other training.

Ngulla Training & Community Centre

A unique community-based working and training environment, Ngulla is an innovative horticultural-based

social enterprise to generate employment and work place training opportunities for local youth, job

seekers and the community. In September 2013 Ngulla became a dedicated learning facility auspiced

through BTG’s Registered Training Organisation (RTO).

Ngulla training is focused on experiential learning with written material encompassing just 25% of core

learning. This approach was adopted to eliminate issues of numeracy and literacy shortfalls within the

student body.

In this financial year both accredited and non accredited training programs have been delivered including

work experience in building and construction, handyman projects and plant propagation as well as

Certificate II in Conservation & Land Management.

In June we developed a traineeship program for indigenous people in partnership with CSBP, where two

young trainees will attain their Certificate II in Conservation & Land Management whilst working on

projects to enhance the gardens and landscaping at CSBP’s Kwinana site. Upon completion of the

traineeship, the trainees will be supported by both Bridging the Gap and CSBP to help them gain full-time

employment. It is intended that this will be an ongoing aboriginal traineeship programme with a major

employer in the Kwinana Industrial Area.

Two social enterprises were born at Ngulla during the financial year:

Ngulla started producing “Seed Bombz”, small balls of seeds encased in Western Australian clay and

peat. The bombs can be thrown in a corner of the garden to grow native shrubs. During the

prototype phase, seed bomb packages were placed in the reception area of local businesses for

people to pay a donation and take one. The prototype demonstrated an appetite for the product in

particular demographics, which will be

developed in the next financial year.

A pilot worm farm was built, to process

the food waste from Bridging the Gap

offices. By reducing the amount of green

waste going to landfill, we can reduce the

amount of methane (a significant

greenhouse gas) produced in landfills and

at the same time produce high value

fertiliser and soil booster. The pilot was

successful and the project will be

expanded in the next year.

ASPIRE

ASPIRE was initiated in 2010 by Bridging the Gap as a social innovation, with a specific intention of

addressing the effects of long-term intergenerational unemployment in Kwinana families. ASPIRE’s core

functions include counselling, mentoring and facilitation of support networks for clients who have been

unemployed for at least one year or are affected by generational unemployment. The program is funded

by the Australian Government’s Department of Human Services through the Better Futures, Local

Solutions initiative. ASPIRE has engaged with more than 50 families over the last year. Outcomes have

included:

Employment;

Business start up;

Training;

Voluntary work/ work experience;

Engagement with relevant services; (e.g.. financial counselling, medical, welfare, food relief)

Assistance in gaining accommodation; and

Assisting clients to overcome personal barriers.

Aspiring To Change Lives

Gerald* and Beryl* come from a history of extreme hard drug use.

When ASPIRE started working with them in February 2014 they had

ceased from hard drug use but were using cannabis regularly. Beryl

was struggling with anxiety and depression and using prescription

medication (anti depressants and Valium). Neither of them were

working - Gerald had lost his job at a large hardware store because his employer had seen him doing a drug deal

in the car park. With a 7-year old child to care for, Gerald and Beryl accessed ASPIRE through outreach at Victory

Care Food Relief. They received emergency food parcels from Victory Care and pastoral care/counselling from

ASPIRE.

Two years of hard work by Beryl and Gerald, along with ongoing guidance and support from ASPIRE and other

providers, has yielded amazing results. Both have since ceased illicit drug use, and Beryl has stopped taking

Valium and cut down her anti depressant usage (under GP supervision) to the point where she is close to not

needing it. They are both accessing support from The Smith Family for their child, St Vincent de Paul, Victory

Care, Red Cross Financial Counselling and a job services provider. They have made significant financial

improvements and are focusing on proper parenting and addressing their own personal issues. Gerald has gained

full time employment in a department store and is also doing casual work plastering. He has also engaged in a

local church with their child and they continue to receive support and ongoing counselling through ASPIRE.

Both Gerald and Beryl have displayed visible evidence of improved mental health and are setting goals, taking

responsibility and adopting positive lifestyle choices.

Bike Restoration Partnership Program

Through funding from the Department of Education, Bridging the Gap

has partnered with Dismantle to deliver a unique alternative learning

opportunity for youth at risk aged 16 and 17 years.

Participants fully restore recycled bicycles for charity after completing

a comprehensive and hands-on bike mechanics course, while

Bridging the Gap delivers a wrap-around service that connects them

to further education and employment opportunities by delivering

Certificate I in Work Preparation and Career Development.

In the 2013-14 financial year there was a programm in November in

Mandurah then another one in May in Cockburn, totalling around 20

participants.

Sustainability

Bridging the Gap is a supportive member of the community. We are committed to equal opportunities,

both for our own employees and those we assist into work.

To ensure our sustainability as a business, we are diversifying our income streams by creating ways of

marketing our expertise to the wider community. At the same time we are developing social enterprises

into profitable aspects of our business.

We strive to reduce our environmental footprint year on year. The worm farm pilot plant prevented

around 400kg of methane being produced over the financial year, by converting food waste into fertiliser

and soil booster. Our environmental ambassadors (called “Green Geeks”) have been promoting better

office habits including reducing paper usage and reducing electricity usage.

Bridging the Gap Gift Fund

Many BTG employees generously contribute a portion of their wage (anywhere from $2/fortnight

upwards) to the Staff Gift Fund, which is used to help worthy causes in our local community. In the

financial year ending 30 June 2014, our staff donated $1333.50. The funds were distributed to two families

in need.

Samantha* was a young single mother of two young

children. She had recently left an abusive relationship

and was getting no financial support from her ex.

Then her car broke down and the CV joints needed

replacing.

With no car she was really struggling to get her kids to

day-care and school, and to look for work which she

desperately need to make ends meet. The Gift Fund

gave Samantha $600 to assist with car repairs, school

fees/uniforms, and to buy food.

Brad* and Janet* have three

children. Brad had been

retrenched from his welding job.

He was looking for work and had

hopes of getting a job soon. Janet

was also looking for work. They

were about to have to leave their

rented house, and their best plan

was to pitch a tent in a friend’s

back yard. The Gift Fund gave

Brad and Janet $1000 to help them

through this rough period.
