Diversity on the Menu at Point Henry
|
|
|
For 14 years, Alcoa's Point Henry operations in Australia has been providing jobs and opportunities for people with disabilities through a unique partnership with the Kommercial organization.
Kommercial is funded through the federal Australian government to help people with disabilities obtain employment. The organization's partnership with Alcoa started in 1993 with a mail delivery round. Over the years, it has grown to provide hospitality, landcare, gardening, administration support, and packaging services. Today, Kommercial has around 35 people working at Point Henry.
The newest frontier in the Alcoa-Kommercial partnership is the Point Henry canteen, which has been re-launched as the Kommercial Café, creating a smorgasbord of new employment opportunities for Kommercial employees.
In addition to reflecting Alcoa's commitment to a diverse and inclusive workplace, this partnership has also been a catalyst for Alcoa's active involvement with other initiatives to support people with disabilities, including the Celebrate All Abilities Festival.
