We are so excited and beyond proud to announce that program partner, The Gordon, has won the 2025 Victorian Training Awards Industry Collaboration Award for the Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event Centre Early Engagement Social Procurement (GEESP) program.
Launched in 2024, the program models a life-changing approach to embed inclusive employment pathways within a major infrastructure project.
GEESP is a partnership co-designed by Development Victoria, the Give Where You Live Foundation’s GROW initiative, gforce employment + recruitment and being delivered by Built as head contractor on the Nyaal Banyul project, with training provided by The Gordon.
The win is a true testament to the benefit of collaboration between government, industry and community to achieve impactful outcomes for our community. Together, we have achieved long-term economic and social equity outcomes that strengthen the G21 region.
