Empowering Young People Into Employment Success
Social Engine gives vulnerable young people the confidence, courage and opportunities to create a better future for themselves.
Our Mission
We exist to change lives through providing work experience and support that enables vulnerable young people to secure mainstream employment.
Our primary purpose is to improve the lives of young people by equipping them with the practical skills, confidence and employment opportunities whilst helping them develop the life skills needed for long term success.
We do this by providing practical and relevant employment experience, paid work and ongoing support in our social enterprises.
Our Services
Social Engine is a unique and multi-faceted social enterprise in Melbourne. We provide employment pathways into the hospitality, warehouse and logistics industries. As a social enterprise, our focus is purpose over profit. All our profits are reinvested to provide jobs and support for vulnerable young people.
Logistics & Warehousing
Social Engine Logistics provides comprehensive services, operating within a 6500 sqm ISO9001 accredited warehouse in Dandenong South. We specialise in delivering the smaller, fiddly batch jobs that larger co-packers and warehousing companies avoid.
These services allow us to provide our participants with training in logistics and warehousing.
Site Services
In conjunction with our supply partners, we offer a comprehensive range of Australia Standard approved work wear, personal protective equipment (PPE) and food and beverage vending machines to building and construction sites.
These social procurement contracts underpin our social enterprise operations and enable our industry customers to share in the social impact of creating real jobs for youth at-risk.
Hospitality & Catering
Social Engine Kitchen specialise in providing site kiosk and catering services suited to your specific site. We operate kiosks at the Metro Tunnel North Melbourne worksite, Werribee and Swinburne University (Wantirna and Croydon). We also operate ‘Brunch on Time’ UberEats.
These services allow us to focus on providing training in hospitality and retail.
