62-year-old David had been out of the workforce for the past seven years caring for his elderly parents.
He was connected to atWork Australia in Corrimal and Job Coach, Aaron, when he needed to return to work.
Aaron referred David to our internal wellness services to help him navigate this significant change in his life.
David felt he had to start over again with employment and looked for support to re-enter the workforce.
“David was open to any industry and wants to gain more knowledge such as using online platforms and learning how to apply for jobs,” said Aaron.
“He wanted to expend and refresh his skill sets.”
David was enrolled in the Career Transition Assistance program for support to build skills and confidence to become more competitive in the local labour market.
During the course he learnt how to improve his job search, how to transfer his skills to a new job, how to apply for jobs online and use new technology commonly found in the workplace.
David also completed his responsible service of alcohol, a course in retail and attended the local First Steps to Success event.
The First Steps to Success event provided David with the opportunity to meet with employers to build further confidence to re-enter the workforce.
“David has become more confident with himself,” said Aaron.
“It increased his job seeking efforts, and as a result, he has secured employment in Events Management.”
“The atWork team in Corrimal have been amazing,” said David.
“From encouraging me to try new things, to the wellness teams support with my mental health and outlook on life.”
“The atWork Australia team in Corrimal have gone above and beyond to help me and provide me with assistance with whatever I needed,” said David.
