Melanie had been out of work for the past five years. In that time her confidence had been significantly impacted.
She shared with her Job Coach, Nikki, that she had a dream of opening her own cleaning business, but due to her confidence and anxiety, believed it would never happen.
“When I first met Melanie, she was about to give up on finding employment altogether,” said Nikki.
They decided not to focus on employment first and instead worked together to support Melanie gain her driving licence. A necessity if she wanted to pursue her own cleaning business.
“Melanie passed her driving licence test on the first attempt,” said Nikki.
“We then looked at supporting Melanie gain her First Aid certificate, NDIS clearance and working with children check.”
With new confidence and momentum after passing her driver’s licence, Melanie was comfortable to be put forward for employment opportunities.
“I feel extremely impacted by gaining my driver’s license,” said Melanie.
“It’s a privilege having independence and freedom. Having my driver’s licence gave me the skills and the motivation to gain my dream role.”
The atWork Australia team were able to connect Melanie to a local cleaning company, Glo-Kleen. A perfect starting point for Melanie opening her own business one day.
“Melanie has made significant progress in her self-confidence, and attitude towards work,” said Nikki.
“She now has a positive outlook and a passion for her future.”
“If it wasn’t for Job Coach, Nikki, none of this would have been possible. I appreciate everything that she has done for me,” said Melanie.
