Turbocharging second chances

In today’s evolving employment landscape, inclusive hiring is no longer just a social responsibility, it’s a strategic advantage. One initiative leading the way is the Pathways to Employment (P2E) program, a transformative model that bridges the gap between custody and community by equipping individuals exiting the justice system with the tools to secure meaningful work.

Among the program’s standout success stories is its partnership with GCG Turbochargers, a leading Australian company specialising in turbocharger sales, service, and repair. Together, they’re proving that second chances can drive real impact for individuals, businesses, and society.

Founded in 1979, GCG Turbochargers has built a reputation as Australia’s premier turbocharger specialist. With over 22,000 products available online and a team of highly trained technicians, GCG services a wide range of industries from automotive and marine to mining and power generation.

As Master Distributors for global brands like Garrett Motion, BorgWarner, Mitsubishi, and IHI, GCG is known for its technical excellence and customer-first approach. But beyond its commercial success, GCG is also a champion of inclusive employment, recognising the value of investing in people from all walks of life.

Since 2022, GCG has partnered with the P2E program to provide job opportunities to individuals transitioning from the corrections system. The collaboration is built on a shared belief  that everyone deserves a chance to contribute, grow, and succeed.

P2E’s holistic framework includes:

  • Pre-release preparation: tailored mentoring, job coaching, and industry-specific training to build confidence and capability.
  • Post-release support: up to six months of case management, including job matching, onboarding assistance, and help navigating employment obligations.
  • Employer engagement: ongoing support for businesses, access to a motivated talent pool, and guidance on inclusive hiring practices.

Interested in learning more or becoming a partner in second-chance employment?

Whether you're looking to diversify your workforce, access motivated talent, or contribute to community reintegration, P2E offers tailored guidance and ongoing support.
