At NexGen, we believe in second chances. For many formerly incarcerated individuals, the pathway back into society is not easy. The barriers to employment, training, and personal growth can be overwhelming. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to open doors that were once closed.

Through our tailored traineeship programs, developed in partnership with employers like BINGO Waste Management and support services such as atWork Australia, we are creating real, long-term employment outcomes for clients who need it most.

Our approach goes beyond training—we provide mentoring, culturally safe support structures, and practical assistance to help individuals thrive. With access to tools, equipment, and a dedicated team who understands their journey, our trainees are equipped for success from day one.

The transformation is profound. One client recently transitioned from a traineeship into a full-time role within just three months. These outcomes show that with the right support, people don’t just survive—they thrive.
