I believe there are positive flow-on effects to local community not only from the creation of employment opportunities but also due to the benefits of an advanced training program to advance the careers and future opportunities for their employees.

With my fellow directors I appreciate our role and commitment within the local community. We have pledged to donate 1% of RecruitR's total annual net profits to a charitable cause, as decided by RecruitR staff on a yearly basis. My hope is that in the next twelve months we will be able to extend this community giving to providing financial assistance in the form of bursaries to Queensland tertiary students studying in the specialist fields of mining, engineering and construction design.

My great belief in education is further demonstrated through our company's participation in a research project on entrepreneurship: CAUSEE, or The Comprehensive Australian Study of Entrepreneurial Emergence research project. This research project is administered by the Queensland University of Technology and is committed to improving understanding of independent entrepreneurship in Australia. It will be the largest study of business start-ups ever undertaken in Australia, and the only large-scale study to track particular ventures over time.
RecruitR have also recently taken on platinum sponsorship of the Queensland Under 16 Girls Futsal team, to provide funding for players to travel to the 2009 National titles in Sydney in January next year. http://www.causee.bus.qut.edu.au/

Do you have a process for poeple to apply to get the financial assistance you speak of?

Thanks for your response Jane. RecruitR has recently set up the RecruitR Learning Potential Fund Scholarship at Queensland Univeristy of Technology. Available exclusively to students within the Engineering and Built Environment Faculty, the scholarship is a perpetual fund granted to disadvantaged students.
