It was a great day for Central Coast Business “Lasercraft”, when they celebrated 30 years in the manufacturing sector on August 28, assisted by ABS student Jessie. Lasercraft Australia Limited is an 'Australian Disability Enterprise' providing long term supported employment for people with moderate intellectual and physical disabilities.
Our Marketing major student Jessie, has been undertaking her internship at Lasercraft since June, working one day per week in the marketing department. Jess has had the opportunity to review the company’s website and make changes to the way the company communicates to its clients particularly in the area of social media.
Jess was instrumental in organising the 30 year celebration, which involved over 80 participants. The community celebration included speeches from the Board of Directors, the CEO, and Tim a staff member who has been working at Lasercraft for over 20 years, and is the employee representative on the Board. Whilst there, Associate Professor Lisa Barnes met Liesl Tesch, member for Gosford. Liesl was very interested to know about the internship program, and Avondale College’s continuing community engagement with their work integrated learning initiatives. Happy birthday Lasercraft from everyone at ABS.
