In 2023, she started an apprenticeship at Hanlon Industries.<\/p>\n<p>This lifechanging opportunity sees Ella thriving in the work environment and loving the chance to learn new skills.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At school I found I liked hands on learning and doing practical things. So, it made sense to try and include that in my work. My new job means I can explore different pathways in engineering fabrication and I&#8217;m pretty excited about that,&#8221; Ella said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My future looks promising. I hope to continue working at Halon Industries when I finish my apprenticeship. Working here has helped me and it&#8217;s really good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As a GROW signatory and a Gold Partner of the Foundation, supporting local and providing opportunities for Geelong people has always been a big part of how Hanlon Industries does business.<\/p>\n<p>To further help create a fairer community, Hanlon Industries is getting behind this year&#8217;s Give Geelong Appeal as a matched giving partner along with Auswide Plumbing &amp; Civil.<\/p>\n<p>During the appeal, thanks to the generous matched giving partners, every dollar donated will be doubled up to $15,000.<\/p>\n<p>The Give Where You Live Foundation is a community foundation that exists to build a fairer, more equitable community across the G21 region.<\/p>\n<p>The unique, place-based philanthropic community foundation works in partnership with the Geelong community to help all people and all places thrive, with a focus on priority areas of food security, homelessness and inclusive employment.<\/p>\n<p>To make a donation or get involved in the appeal activities, head to <a href=\"http:\/\/givewhereyoulive.com.au\">givewhereyoulive.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Give Where You Live Foundation&#8217;s Give Geelong Appeal, from March 15-March 24, will help create a fairer community by assisting those who are experiencing homelessness, struggling to put food on the table and those facing long-term unemployment.
