TARGET 1000 | 1000 Traineeships by 2028 | $500,000 for Support Programs

SECURING 1000 FUTURES

What is Target 1000?

Target 1000 is The Ready Foundation's initiative to provide 1,000 traineeships annually by 2028. This program addresses the challenges faced by disengaged youth, such as economic hardships, lack of mentorship and limited opportunities.

 

We seek to raise an additional $500,000 to provide comprehensive support through personalised mentorship, financial assistance, skill development, safe spaces and emotional support. Your contribution is crucial in transforming vulnerable young people’s lives and creating a brighter future.

A Message from our CEO

Sally Powell | CEO of The Ready Foundation

"Supporting vulnerable individuals through their education and employment journey is essential for individual and national prosperity. It directly correlates with higher income, better employment rates, improved health and reduced poverty and crime. Investing in tailored support not only enhances personal well-being and progression, but also saves billions in taxpayer dollars, making it a powerful tool for transforming lives and strengthening our economy. Join The Ready Foundation's goal of Target 1000 to ensure the most vulnerable aren't left behind."
