📖 Our 2025–26 Annual Report is here!

Every year at ETC is shaped by the people we support, the communities we’re a part of and the partnerships that help us make a difference.

Our 2025–26 Annual Report is an opportunity to look back on another big year and celebrate the stories, achievements and outcomes that have made it so meaningful.

Because behind every outcome is a story.

It’s the people taking the next step towards employment, the students building new skills and confidence, the businesses creating new opportunities, and the community organisations making a difference in their local communities.

It’s also our ETC team, whose passion, care and commitment help bring our purpose to life every day.

We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together and grateful to everyone who has been part of our journey throughout 2025–26 💙
