Many Rivers is committed to empowering Indigenous enterprises across Australia, exemplified through our pioneering program with Origin Energy and the Origin Energy Foundation. Together, we’ve launched a program tailored for small Indigenous businesses to support them to achieve growth and success. The initiative is designed to bridge crucial skill gaps by offering expert business coaching by Origin professionals in vital areas such as procurement processes, policies, management techniques, and impactful marketing strategies. Our joint effort aims to equip Indigenous enterprises with the necessary tools to thrive within larger corporate structures, fostering sustainable growth and unparalleled opportunities.
Through the engagement with participants like Col Finlay Earthmoving, the pressing need for upskilling to meet the exact standards set by larger corporations has been recognised. The program not only addresses these skill gaps but also lays the groundwork for future collaborations, presenting smaller businesses with pathways to engage and grow alongside industry leaders.
As the pilot program approaches its conclusion, we eagerly anticipate its expansion, which promises broader accessibility and support for a more extensive network of Indigenous businesses. This transformative initiative signifies a pivotal stride towards fostering inclusive economic development and a brighter future for Indigenous businesses across the nation.
