Abdallah arrived at his first appointment with atWork Australia in Hurstville with very limited work experience. He had only ever had an after-school job at a fast-food restaurant.
However, at the young age of 18, Abdallah had a solid employment goal. He wanted to work at the airport.
“I found Abdallah to be very inspiring. Reminding me that if we set a goal, no matter how far fetched it may seem, if we work hard to get there, one step at a time, anything is achievable,” said Job Coach, Viviana.
Abdallah appreciated that Viviana believed he could reach his goals, and they started to work on those small steps.
After researching the types of roles available at the local airport, Abdallah was enrolled in a few courses to start building skills useful in an airport environment.
He completed a Supply Chain accelerator course and a short traffic control combination course.
Abdallah also attended a local First Steps to Success event to practice speaking with employers and build his confidence.
“Abdallah started to feel more motivated and confident within himself,” said Viviana.
Then Viviana heard about a role as a catering assistant for a large company which supports airlines.
Abdallah was excited to gain a foot in the door at the airport and hoped he would land the role. Viviana supported Abdallah to fill in the application paperwork and he successfully landed the job.
He has now taken another step towards his dream career.
“My Job Coach Viviana helped me a lot with finding work,” said Abdallah.
