Business Testimonial – Benefits of working with Beacon
“As the Fulton Hogan contact for several years I have gained an immense satisfaction dealing with the kids, teachers & your people at the Beacon Foundation. I would like to thank you for the opportunity your organisation gave me.
I think that you and your staff are a wonderful group. The Beacon Foundation is to be congratulated on the effort you put into schools. I have been to several Signing days and I’m always moved at the participation and commitment you get from these kids, this is only achieved by your people’s commitment to the kids.
Please keep Fulton Hogan in mind as one of the companies that will help in any way to make your programs work.

The Beacon Foundation is a National not-for-profit organisation, that seeks to influence the attitudes and culture of Australians so that each young person develops an independent will to achieve personal success for themselves and their community.
A key strategy of Beacon is to initiate original and innovative projects that demonstrate solutions to youth unemployment and encourage self-help at the local level.
The implementation of these innovative projects relies on the support of local communities and the business community at a local and national level. Businesses providing support to Beacon in terms of funding, services in kind and time fall into two categories
Beacon National Sponsors and Beacon Business Supporters.
Today successful Beacon programs are being replicated around Australia.
Three successful Beacon programs now being implemented in mainland states and territories are No Dole and Real Jobs and Polish.
