Additional Year for Social Enterprise Employment Program
SisterWorks has been awarded an additional year extension for our Social Enterprise Employment Program, by Office for Women at the Victorian Department of Families Fairness and Housing.
This $200,000 extension will allow us to continue to provide practical training and employment within our Social Enterprise Production, expand our Speaking Engagement and Workshop Program, as well as some new initiatives to be launched later this year.
We thank Office for Women for their generous continued support of SisterWorks.
