About Hopscotch: Unlocking Pathways to Work for Parents
Parents looking for paid work often face huge challenges - like limited childcare, poor transport options, inflexible job roles, and daunting recruitment processes. At the same time, essential sectors are crying out for workers.
In 2023, Anglicare WA’s ShiftLab launched an innovative pilot at Dudley Park Child and Parent Centre to change that. The result? Hopscotch- an award-winning, low-stress, place-based program that’s opening doors for parents and tackling worker shortages. Recognised for Excellence in Partnerships, Hopscotch is now influencing national employment policy with the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR).
In this webinar, hosted by the WA Social Enterprise Council, Kira Rikkers from Anglicare WA’s innovation team unpacks the Hopscotch model. Learn how it’s transforming employment pathways—and how social enterprises can use it to support parents facing complex barriers.
This recording is perfect for: Social enterprises working with parents, organisations looking to start inclusive employment programs and anyone interested in community-driven innovation.
