Workforce Australia client, Antony connected with the Burwood atWork Australia office having spent the last 14 years without stable employment.
Having been out of the workforce for so long, he had lost his motivation to strive for meaningful employment.
With his Job Coach, Meena, Antony discussed the need to regain his motivation. Together they decided to start with a small step, to help him achieve a smaller goal to feel accomplished and capable.
Antony shared that he would like to re-gain his driver’s licence. Meena encouraged Antony to take driving lessons, and atWork Australia financially supported the lessons.
“Gaining his driver’s licence supported Antony to feel more independent,” said Meena.
“We worked on small steps to employment, but each step gave Antony more motivation to work towards his long-term goal of stable employment.”
Soon after Antony gained his licence, Meena encouraged him to upskill through a white card and first aid course.
He also attended atWork Australia’s in-house Money Minded course to learn more about budgeting and finances.
“After attending this activity and upskilling, Antony was starting to discover his strengths,” said Meena.
“I could see him becoming more positive about finding work.”
Now that Antony has reached his first goal of regaining his motivation, he is now working on his next goal. To find work in the warehousing industry.
With Meena by his side, Antony has been applying for roles and attending interviews.
After each interview, Meena and Antony discuss the feedback, using the interview as a learning opportunity to further develop Antony’s skills in warehousing.
“With the constant support of atWork Australia, Antony has come a long way. He is now more confident he can find work,” said Meena.
