Emily is a single mother to two young children. Five years ago, Emily had worked in the beauty industry but after taking time off to look after her children, she realised returning to this industry would be difficult to manage alongside her caring responsibilities.
After having this time away from work, Emily was finding it tough to regain her motivation, or a clear direction on her future goals.
She was connected to atWork Australia’s Wellness services for additional support.
Emily also worked with her Job Coach, Angela, to look at different industries and options for her future.
“Through self-reflection, support and guidance, Emily discovered a career path that aligns with her strengths, offers stability and would give her personal fulfilment,” said Angela.
Emily had decided to pursue a career in Individual Support. She expressed that she had really enjoyed caring for others and felt the role would provide her with the flexibility she was looking for as well.
atWork Australia supported her to enrol in Certificate III in Individual Support.
“Angela has been so lovely from the very start,” said Emily.
“Her positive vibes have made me feel comfortable, got me out of my shell and excited to look for work.”
She was connected to ARC training as it suited her needs, by providing flexibility to study and still do school drop off and pick up.
“Emily was able to experience a positive shift in both her family and personal life. Building her confidence and motivation,” said Angela.
“Emily is a positive role model to her children and is creating a more hopeful and goal-oriented environment at home.”
Emily has just finished her Certificate III and is now working with Angela to find the right environment to complete her placement hours.
“I am looking forward to the future and where this new path is going to lead me, after having almost five years off work,” said Emily.
