Provider Spotlight: 4gr
Getting into employment can be challenging for those who experience disability.
A lack of opportunities, barriers to entry, and other challenges can unnecessarily exclude some from the workplace. 4gr helps change that for participants.
By helping build independence and positive transformation, 4gr helps those experiencing disadvantages return to or join the workforce.
We caught up with the team to learn more about how they help.
Who are 4gr?
We are Australia’s #1 Customised Employment Specialists. Whether you’re seeking a meaningful career or want to fill a new position within your company, we’re here to help.
Our unique and innovative approach ensures we deliver a successful outcome for both our employment-seeking clients as well as the employers we work with, creating positive transformations in people’s lives, workplaces and communities.
How did 4gr come to be?
4gr is operated by business partners and friends Beth Evans and Gillian Baldwin. They launched 4gr in 2013 with four good reasons––to create a legacy for their collective four children.
They chose to do this with a business that creates capacity, building independence for people with various barriers.
Before starting 4gr, both Beth and Gill spent eight years working in social services supporting and training long-term unemployed and individuals experiencing disadvantage and barriers to returning to work.
Which regions does 4gr service?
4gr services Geelong and the Barwon Region, across all of Melbourne and most recently, Adelaide.
What is the 4gr difference?
We build meaningful connections with all stakeholders, by taking the time to understand each individual’s employment and recruitment goals. Through our Customised Employment model, we encourage individuals to realise their career pathways, delivering positive outcomes for clients of all abilities.
Unlike other service providers, we understand everyone’s journey is unique, so we do not follow a one-size-fits-all program, and our approach with every participant is different.
Do you have capacity?
We currently have capacity in Barwon, Bass, Adelaide, and Melbourne’s North, West and South-East suburbs.
