Urbis is raising funds for The Bread & Butter Project as part of our celebration of Refugee Week 2022.

Since 2013, The Bread & Butter Project has provided training and employment pathways for refugees and asylum seekers to boost their prospects of successful resettlement, employment and a strong sense of belonging.

How the training programme works

Trainees undertake a 6 to 8 month traineeship, which includes:

• On-the-job bakery training
• TAFE accreditation
• English-language tutoring
• Job readiness support

The Bread & Butter Project then supports trainees to secure employment after graduation with like-minded organisations who are passionate about creating a diverse and empowered workplace.

100% of profits are channelled into creating opportunity and alleviating poverty. Currently bread & pastry sales fund 90% of training and operation costs and donations fund the remaining 10%.
