In the lead-up to Anti-Poverty Week, this conversation explores what poverty looks like in modern Australia and how digital poverty is leaving young people experiencing disadvantage further behind in education and employment opportunities. 

Caroline McDaid, CEO of WorkVentures, shares insights into what can be done to bridge this digital divide and how organisations are working to ensure every young person has the tools they need to succeed in an increasingly digital world. 

Caroline is also the NSW co-chair of Anti-Poverty Week, alongside The Smith Family CEO Doug Taylor.

Actions you can take this Anti-Poverty Week to help young Australians in need: 

• Support the call to end child poverty in Australia
• Support The Smith Family’s Digital Learning Essentials program
• Learn how your organisation can donate technology through WorkVentures
