The CCIWA Education Development Fund (EDF), tackles challenges that impact disadvantaged young Western Australians. The primary aim of the EDF is to improve access, equity and educational outcomes for WA students impacted by poverty.
We support and inspire youth across WA by engaging our Members and the CCIWA team to provide career inspiration and support throughout the year.
Most CCIWA Members take the opportunity to make the voluntary contribution when they pay their annual fees. The EDF demonstrates our collective ability to make a significant impact through the contributions across our membership.
By working together, we can transform the lives of disadvantaged young Western Australians and create better opportunities for our future workforce.
