We deliver innovative employment, health, and education solutions in six countries and more than 300 locations in Australia, Canada, Italy, Singapore, Sweden, and the UK. Our customers include jobseekers, students, governments and local councils, employers and community organisations.
We believe that when people are empowered and supported, they can set themselves up for success. We use our international and local knowledge, skills, and experiences to help our customers create meaningful changes in their lives. This allows us to bring out the potential in our customers, colleagues and communities to create a brighter future for all.
Our 2,000 specialists use their lived experience of the barriers and circumstances our customers face, to provide tailored support. Our people live and work in the communities they support, buoyed by the resources, network, and financial stability of a global business.
There’s an old saying – ‘before you judge someone, walk a mile in their shoes’.
We understand that people need support from people with shared experience.
Many AKG employees are former customers or have related experiences. This enables us to provide the most effective, empathetic support, with real understanding of our customers’ issues. We take a strength-based, person-centred approach to develop customer’s unique qualities and to create deep connections.
To help customers overcome personal, social, and cultural challenges, we ensure our staff have specialist skillsets and experience.
However, this is only half the story. We also ensure that our teams are backed with the resources, financial stability and global network that ensures real long-term support, at scale.
Everyone is capable of improvement, even though some people face more challenges than others. We walk hand-in-hand with our clients, supporting them while they overcome these challenges and achieve their life goals. Learning to overcome a challenge is more empowering that having someone remove it.
A global network with local roots. AKG was founded more than 30 years ago by Duncan Angus, a ‘boy from the bush’ who experienced his own challenges in finding meaningful training and employment.
Duncan co-founded AKG, with the belief that compassion, experience and skill development empowers people to make their lives and communities better.
Today, all of us at AKG remain true to its purpose: to empower people through employment, health, and education, enabling people to thrive in their communities.
We achieve this through our extensive global network, our consultant’s skills and lived experience, and commitment to our purpose.
Our extensive global network spans 300 locations over six countries, equipping us with hundreds of highly skilled experts, specialist knowledge and valuable contacts within thousands of communities.
Our services are designed and delivered by people with lived experience of the issues and challenges our clients face and insights from the customers we support. Our highly trained consultants support our customers with empathy, providing them with hope and understanding as well as practical skills.
We’re passionate about empowering people and helping them transform their lives. This purpose is what keeps us working, innovating, and growing to extend our support.
In 30 years, we’ve helped more than 1,000,000 people discover their skills and ability to write a brighter future. We continue to develop new programmes and opportunities that enable customers to make positive life changes and better communities.
We enable people to make their own decisions, and choose their own path based on what they want out of life.
We treat everyone with kindness and respect, connecting with their diverse backgrounds, lived experiences and unique stories.
We do what is right. We deliver to our commitments. We perform at a high standard.
We bring the best of AKG to improve the lives of our customers, staff, and communities.
We see the employers we work with as partners, and we make it our business to understand and respond to the needs of their community.
We continue to provide support for at least six months after a job seeker is employed.
