26-year-old, First Nations client, Denzal, was not confident that employment services providers could help him. He was surprised when atWork Australia listened to his needs and worked with him to help him achieve his goals.
Job Coach, Ash, didn’t push jobs onto Denzal. Instead, she took the time to get to know him, his interests and his career goals.
Denzal and Ash discussed traffic control and civil construction. Denzal expressed his interest, and Ash advised Denzal how it was a growth industry with lots of possibility in Tasmania.
As an early school leaver, living with a learning disability, Denzal had concerns he wouldn’t be able to complete the required qualifications but with atWork Australia by his side, he was ready to give it a go.
The team connected him to training provider, Programmed, who was running a traffic control course from the Devonport atWork Australia office.
This allowed Denzal to have his Job Coach by his side to support with the training when he needed help.
He successfully completed the training, and atWork Australia was able to connect him to employer, Roadways.
Denzal is due to start his new job shortly, and the atWork Australia team will continue to support him as he starts a career in traffic control.
“Instead of telling me what to do, atWork Australia listened to me and encouraged me to find my own path,” said Denzal.
