Lavender hires indigenous students to service Jawrun client

Lavender has hired indigenous students to work on a project to create a website for client Jawrun, which used to be known as Indigenous Enterprise Partnerships.

The announcement:

Lavender has employed young indigenous students, interested in design and advertising, to help create a website for their client Jawun, formerly known as Indigenous Enterprise Partnerships (IEP). Jawun believe in improving the lives of people in indigenous communities via skills exchanges with Australian businesses. So, when responding to their website brief, Lavender decided to create their own indigenous
partnership. Three indigenous students worked with the agency over a period of three weeks. The students were thrown in the deep end of agency life, working as part of a creative team to develop the website concept.

They also had to balance their university and work commitments in addition to the project. In the process of mentoring the students and nurturing their ideas the agency learnt a great deal about indigenous culture. In return the students learnt valuable skills that will hopefully assist them as they move from university to work life.
