We developed, designed and launched, in collaboration with the Canterbury Bankstown Chamber of Commerce, the CBCC Round Table Initiative. This program is designed to help businesses provide their leadership and staff with a free avenue to develop leadership practical experience; a safe place to explore pain points within their employment addressing mental health issues over and beyond isolation, stress and financial hardships. As well as providing smaller groups for networking and building business advocates and sales opportunities.

The social impacts of COVID-19 have been felt by all Australians. Young people are faced with the challenge of finding employment due to their lack of experience and understanding of the inner workings of a business. Small business is often referred to as the backbone of the Australian economy. We have often left the training of our youth to large and corporate firms, however, these opportunities are limited.

Our unpaid summer intern program allows young people to receive the training, knowledge and hands-on experience to seek gainful employment. Our interns, practice their skills with Collappor8 and are then deployed on to pro-bono cases for not for profits, DGR charities and selected micro-businesses in an effort to help those most in need. Hear from our interns.

We developed and designed the Youth Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow program that is the systematic exchange of ideas, patterns, methodologies, knowledge and experience down and across generations. This program was due to be piloted in 2020 in collaboration with Canterbury Bankstown Chamber of Commerce at member schools including Bankstown Girls High School and Bass Hill High School.

Unfortunately, due to COVID and funding limitations, this program is yet to run. Please stay tuned.

Each year, Collappor8 selects four noteworthy causes to support. These have included bro-bono work for St Merkorious Charity, Outloud, Community Minds and Haydn Payne from Spectrumite.

In addition, we are sponsors of the CBCC Annual Women in Leadership Event that brings women from leadership roles to share their stories, experiences, passions to provide inspiration and positivity to women across Western Sydney and beyond. Together women are supporting women to effect change.

We offer concessional grant writing to grass root community initiatives, not for profits and charities. What this means is, Collappor8 discounts grant writing by more than 60% to help secure funding or other benefits.

This often means that we assist with program development, administration and other means of support and networking in order to holistically help our communities and the environment around us.
