About SCENE
The IQ SCENE (Sustainable Community Employment
Network Enterprise) is a Community Employment
Project developed by IQ Inc. SCENE provides for a network
of community organisations, arts, ecologically sustainable
industries & business.
SCENE is growing rapidly with
a great crew of participants involved in a range of exciting
activities on site at Island Quarry. The enterprise, supported
by the federal government’s Stronger Families and
Communities Strategy, provides a community- grounded program
of participation choices that supports social and self-employment
entrepreneurship and fosters working partnerships with local
employers and community organisations. It aims to link IQ
volunteers with community, arts and ecologically sustainable
organisations and businesses to provide flexible training,
hands-on experience and work opportunities from bush regeneration
to web design.
 "Potential
partners are welcome to register with the SCENE to
help make our community work for us all," says SCENE
managing co-ordinator, Shane Rennie. "The IQ SCENE
is a great opportunity for participants in Work for the Dole
and other “mutual contribution” programs to make
the most of their voluntary work." "You can also
do your community service hours at IQ."
Participants are offered a wide choice
of work and training activities on a flexible basis. This
provides opportunities to greater enhance participants' confidence,
skills & talents. Involvement in decision-making & job planning
encourages participants' self-development, team building &
management skills.
