Mini Woolworths Launch

On Tuesday 20th September 2022 we officially opened our Mini Woolworths Store.

The Mini Woolworths program involves replicating a Woolworths supermarket on a smaller scale designed as a learning and educational tool at specialist schools or inclusive recruitment specialist sites specialising in educating students and candidates with intellectual disabilities, sensory disabilities and autism. The program allows students and candidates to learn transferable skills into the workforce with hand-on learning experiences.

Each mini store is stocked with a range of groceries, fitted with baskets, shelving, ticketing, signage and Woolworths branded uniforms the students can wear to create a fully immersive experience. At check out, grocery items are scanned using fully operational Fujitsu registers and include the experience of money handling, store receipts and the bagging of items.
