UniSuper has partnered with non-profit social venture, CareerSeekers, to create professional employment opportunities for refugees and asylum seekers in Australia.
UniSuper's executive manager for member and people services, Lee Scales, said the partnership formed part of an ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion within the workforce.
"We hope to build on this partnership in the future and see it as a wonderful opportunity to strengthen the mix of skills and experience within our business, while at the same time providing an important point of entry for refugees and asylum seekers into professional life in Australia," Scales said.
UniSuper recently welcomed an intern to its service centre team in the technology and projects division as a first step of the partnership. A second intern will join the fund's advice team in November.
The $9 billion fund is backing agriculture investor GO.FARM, with its capital already directed towards enhancing two key assets.
Brighter Super is considerably scaling down the investment options it offers members in order to reduce costs.
Amid a challenging market environment, three super fund CIOs have warned against ‘jumping at shadows’.
The professional body is calling for the annual performance test to transition to a two-metric test, so it better aligns with the overarching duty of super fund trustees to act in the best financial interests of their members.
Why don't you help local young people who are struggling here , but allways concentrate to refugees
