23-year-old Workforce Australia client, Tim was an early school leaver. He had unstable accommodation and was living with anxiety. He also had no current form of identification, no drivers licence and limited work experience.
When he was connected with Job Coach, Alana, at the Joondalup atWork Australia office, he had been unemployed for three years.
Alana first supported Tim to organise his identification and to start driving lessons. She referred him to our internal Wellness Services for further support.
She discussed with him the types of employment he was looking. When he expressed his interest in factory, or warehousing work, Alana organised for Tim to complete his white card.
Tim then participated in atWork Australia’s accelerator program in partnership with Key Institute to complete a mirco credential course in Supply Chain and Warehousing.
With these new qualifications under his belt, the atWork Australia team secured Tim a job interview. However, Tim could not be contacted and missed out on the opportunity.
“Tim lost contact with atWork Australia for a short period of time,” said Alana.
“This was due to his unstable housing, and personal situation. However, when he reconnected, he had stabilised his living arrangements and had a new drive to find employment.”
The atWork Australia team acted quickly, with Employer Engagement Consultant, Ant, reaching out to local employers.
He advocated for Tim, and shared that he had recently completed new qualifications in Warehousing.
Tim quickly gained another interview and was supported by the atWork Australia team to prepare.
He successfully landed the role and was further assisted to purchase the personal protective equipment he needed to start work.
“Tailored servicing, including training, has seen Tim gain skills and knowledge that has positively impacted his attitude towards his abilities and his future,” said Jib Coach, Alana.
