Celebrating National Reconciliation Week, we honour the invaluable contributions of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander colleagues, suppliers, and community partners. Their unique perspectives and experiences enrich our understanding, fortify our business, and drive us towards a brighter, shared future. In 2023, CIMIC Group companies procured $168.8 million worth of goods and services from Indigenous businesses which represents an increase of 34% on the previous year. This advance has been achieved by implementing our recently launched Aboriginal business data base and entering into agreements with over 550 Aboriginal suppliers, who have been assessed and are ready to be engaged by the Group as continuing opportunities arise. Supporting our initiatives are the long-term partnerships we have in place with: 🔹 CareerTrackers - supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students by linking them with employers for paid, multi-year internships. CIMIC Group has supported CareerTrackers for more than 10 years and in 2023 provided 36 paid internships, with six interns transitioning into the CIMIC Group Graduate Program. 🔹 Clontarf Foundation – helps young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men to attend school, finish Year 12 and enter employment. 🔹 Supply Nation – brings together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses and procurement teams of Australia’s leading organisations to engage in business. #nrw2024 #nationalreconciliationweek Tagging our Group companies: CPB Contractors UGL Sedgman Pty Limited Pacific Partnerships EIC Activities Broad Construction Leighton Asia Thiess

" Working for NGO’s is a waste of time “ That’s what somebody said to me and it made me think….. - YES, It’s a waste of time if you prioritise money. - YES, It’s a waste of time if you’re not an empathetic person. - YES, It’s a waste of time if you’re doing it for the CV. Surprisingly, I could only think of 3 reasons why it’s a waste of time but a million of reasons why it’s not… - NO, It’s not a waste of time if it brings smile on your face. - NO, It’s not a waste of time if your pain becomes small infront of them. - NO, It’s not a waste of time if you actually want to help others. - NO, It’s not a waste of time if it makes you care about people. - NO, It’s not a waste of time if your heart is full of empathy. and the list goes on……. But the main point is, People now a days want to work for a NGO because it looks good on their CV not because they enjoy working in this sector. The hard truth is MONETARY COMPENSATION is what that matters , that’s why people don’t take NGO internships seriously. Do you also think that? Ps- This was the first time I visited a slum for a session and I was similing from ear to ear.😊

This picture tells a story humble beginnings. Here are 'Super Interns' as we were fondly referred to back then. Reason; some of us interned for more than a year, yes One year plus! and yet they still let us go...but with a wealth of experience. Lesson 1: Do your best, in the opportuinity granted, don't look for paying opporuinities, sometimes just work for free knowing your end goal Probably to some of us,this was our 4th internahip right from campus. We looked hungry for opportuinities and ready to gain experience in the various fields of study. National Bank Of Kenya was our institution of fostering this 'work friendship' and gaining career experience. Lesson 2: Internship is just an opportunity platform to learn more than what you may have studied. Some of us were in the Bank business with anthropology studies, or even literature. Stay humble,stay hungry and don't be satisfied. Lesson 3: Do not intern forever ( Especially after college) Those are your precious years of life and you can achieve most out of it. Most of these employers are in the habit of rewarding mediocrity, relationships, favouristism, tribal affliations with employment. Work as an Intern with your eyes out there. have goals and desires of what next...You are only relevant to you boss when you do more of their work and they get paid, while you are not paid a dime- and claim you are still a protogee. Damn it - 1 year plus!! We saw our colleagues awarded with jobs at the end while some us were let go with with famous employer rhetoric - "You did a good job, when an opporutinity opens - you'll be first for consideration" " We have your contacts, we will reach out..." Today, i see most of colleagues in this picture doing amazing jobs and vested their passions time and talents in what fits them best. @Jimmie karanja(Super Mc,@Kashaks -Entrepreneur, Myself - Business and Advertising enthusiast, Her majesty - Finacial coach Final lesson : "Sometimes do not overstay your visit, when you get in, have a plan, set your goals right, weigh your value in and no when to exit" Employers: Stop misusing fresh minds and fresh graduates. Age and time waits for no man. #LessonstoFreshGraduates #EmployeersOpportuinities #

Development and Fundraising Manager|Foundations and Multilaterals, Corporate and Individual Giving |Mandela Washington Fellowship Alumni|Social Worker|Visibility Management for Non Profits|Lifelong learner|
The struggle of graduate interns is one thing we rarely talk about.Without any hands-on experience,graduate trainees are expected to prove that they have a bit of experience when experessing their interest to join an organization/company, apart from work related learning during university.I find this absurd and unfair.I wish employers give graduate interns a chance,their first chance to be particular,to learn and grow. The struggle of graduate interns is also similar to that of Youth-Led organizations,while funders applaud youth-led initiatives,they still hesitate to fully resource them,to be precise,trusting them with huge funding.

mostly many companies take advantage of fresh graduates by offering unpaid internships, saying it’s for experience. While these young people are eager to learn, they often work hard without any recognition or pay. Companies should realize that fair pay shows respect for their efforts and creates a better work environment. When organizations invest in their interns, they help them grow and build loyalty in the long run. From the experiences of others, we learn that fairness leads to stronger teamwork. The Quran teaches us about justice, and the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) reminded us to pay workers what they deserve. By treating newcomers well, companies can help everyone succeed.

𝑹𝑬𝑭𝑳𝑬𝑪𝑻𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝑶𝑵 𝑴𝒀 𝑱𝑶𝑼𝑹𝑵𝑬𝒀 𝑭𝑹𝑶𝑴 𝑺𝑻𝑼𝑫𝑬𝑵𝑻 𝑻𝑶 𝑭𝑼𝑳𝑳 𝑻𝑰𝑴𝑬 𝑾𝑶𝑹𝑲𝑬𝑹. Dear 21-year-old Erica, I can imagine the excitement passing through your veins, having completed school and ready to join the corporate world. You gathered some work experience during internships, but this is going to be your first time working full time. Since I’m already here, let me give you a spoiler on how a year of service is going to look like for you. You got into AXIS PENSION TRUST LTD. for your service, and you’ve had an enjoyable stay. The work environment is conducive and the people are warmhearted. You learnt so much in your journey, but let me tell you about a few that made a difference. 𝐀𝐝𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: Erica, you adapted really well into the work environment. You also mastered the art of blending in and participating in company activities and retreats. 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤: The department you found yourself in was the absolute best! Your colleagues are always ready to lend a helping hand, receptive and genuinely care about one another’s welfare. You’ve been able to work well with them. 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠: You did well with engaging with your colleagues at work during lunch breaks, retreats and on a day-to-day basis. It was no easy feat, but you’re now comfortable with everyone. Also, you volunteered with Axis Young Scholars Fellowship and it gave you the opportunity to give back to University of Ghana Business School | UGBS. 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: It was not easy waking up every day to go to work but you did it! You got to work, did the work, struggled sometimes, but never gave up. It paid that you had a good boss who was accommodating and supportive seniors ready to teach you where you were lacking. You’re probably wondering, after service, what comes next? But that’s a story for another day. I hope you’re looking forward to your service with this little spoiler I’ve given you. You’ll do amazing! 𝐹𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑓𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑡𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑖𝑐𝑒, 𝑬𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂.

So this issue came up for discussion and I want to share my opinion on that for the young graduates here. The issue of employers demanding certain years of experience from graduates before giving them offer in their institution. While some of these young graduates feel it is unfair to demand at least 2 years experience from a fresh graduate, I am of the opinion that you can have such experience while in school and during your national service period. Our school system is such that we have long vacations spanning a minimum of 2 to 3 months per academic year. This long vacation period can be use for internships and volunteerism in your field of interest such that you will gain the needed skills to take up opportunities after school. Again, national service is design to give you at least one year experience after school and it should be regarded as such. During this period, most of the young graduates do things their own way after all the allowances are not paid on time forgetting the skills they need to learn at work. Let us focus on the skills to enrich ourselves. Thirdly is the issue of CV preparation. Most of our young graduates can’t prepare a good CV to attract employers. They add things that does not matter much like gender, religion, date of birth, etc. and forget to add the skills they have gained, the internships they have had, the experience from national service and the rest. My dear young graduates, learn to volunteer, have internships and take your national service serious as they all add up to your years of experience when looking for employment. Thank you

Investing in interns helps companies build a loyal talent pipeline
https://lnkd.in/ecGBj-Rj I am thrilled to share my article on how internships are an excellent way for organizations to build a pipeline of talent and help identify individuals who demonstrate passion, perseverance, competencies and curiosity. It is thanks to great employer partnerships such as those with Bombardier, Vffice, AtkinsRéalis and Nestlé Health Science who have revealed invaluable insights on how to engage interns to then become permanent employees. Top employers like them invest time and energy in their internship programs and the ROI is countless. Recruiting student interns makes good business sense. I'm also proud that we heard the voice of a student during their journey in the Concordia University - Institute for Co-operative Education where they learn, grow and assess different organizations to determine their careers and future professional home. Some key tips in building a successful internship: *Assign Meaningful Work *Focus on Culture *Incorporate regular check-ins & feedback *Create a sense of belonging *Provide training Thank you to Marco Beaulieu, Savannah Carvalho, Vince Hua, Julie Lavallee and Josephine L. (Josie) Scalia for sharing their expert advice and experience. #experientiallearning #cooperativeeducation #studentinterns Concordia Alumni Concordia University #workintergratedlearning CEWIL/ECAIT Canada #Concordia50 #careers CACEE / ACSEE #ROI
