Mastroe: Empowering the Marginalised and Long Term Unemployed
Mastroe is a charitable organisation that is dedicated to empowering the marginalised and long term unemployed. The organisation uses a combination of work-based training and social enterprise to create opportunities for those who have been left behind by society.
At Mastroe, we believe that everyone deserves a chance to succeed. We understand that many people face significant barriers when it comes to finding employment, including lack of experience, education or skills. That's why we offer work-based training programs that provide individuals with the skills they need to succeed in today's job market.
Our work-based training programs are designed to be hands-on and practical. We partner with local businesses and organisations to provide real-world experience in a variety of industries, from hospitality and retail to construction and manufacturing. Our participants learn valuable skills such as customer service, teamwork, communication, problem-solving and time management.
In addition to our work-based training programs, Mastroe also operates several social enterprises. These enterprises provide meaningful employment opportunities for our participants while generating revenue for our organisation. Our social enterprises include a catering business, a cleaning service and an online marketplace where we sell handmade goods created by our participants.
At Mastroe, we are committed not only to providing employment opportunities but also creating pathways for long-term success. We offer ongoing support services such as career counselling, financial literacy classes and mentorship programs so that our participants can continue on their journey towards self-sufficiency.
Our impact speaks for itself - since our inception in 2015; we have helped over 500 individuals find meaningful employment through our work-based training programs or social enterprises. Many of these individuals have gone on to secure permanent positions with local businesses or start their own successful ventures.
We believe that everyone has something valuable contribute - regardless of their background or circumstances - which is why at Mastroe; diversity is celebrated! Our participants come from a wide range of backgrounds, including refugees, ex-offenders and those with disabilities.
