BRIDGING THE GAP
One of the Pauline E. McLeod Foundation success stories
Ron James Murray
- “I always wanted to get into IT. Technology has always been my passion though I just couldn’t see how I was going to bridge the skill gap working 12 – 15 hour days as a security guard to support my family”.
- If it wasn’t for the Pauline E. McLeod foundation, I'd never have bridged the high skill gap. I'm so much happier. My wife and family are happier, and I love the challenge of always learning.
The National Apology Breakfast
The National Apology Breakfast and the Pauline E. McLeod Foundation are united with a common purpose. That is to work with organisations Australia-wide to embrace reconciliation and partner with First Nations communities to deliver support that genuinely meets their needs.
We are delighted to be associated with this event to raise the Anniversary of the National Apology in the nation’s consciousness. We believe it is important to foster greater understanding of the pain endured by Survivors of the Stolen Generation, to shine a light on the intergenerational trauma impacting our First Nations youth, and more importantly, what we can do about it.
These are the issues Pauline cared about deeply and what the Foundation named in her honour is dedicated to addressing. We invite you to join us.
