Workforce Australia Client, Amber, had limited work experience. She had spent her time looking after her family home.
She came to atWork Australia in Drysdale ready for greater financial independence and started working with Job Coach, Kristie, to find work.
She thought hospitality would be a natural transition back to employment.
Originally, she wanted atWork Australia’s support to refer her to available vacancies. The team helped her update her resume and provided guidance on how to apply for work and stand out in an interview.
It wasn’t long before atWork Australia connected her to a role in hospitality.
“Amber has always shown determination and drive to reach her employment goals,” said Kristie.
“In her hospitality role, she showed up to work early to learn the till system and to support her colleagues.”
Amber had been living with depression but returning to work gave her a new sense of purpose and drive.
“Gaining employment has given me a new purpose in life,” said Amber.
Amber was connected to Wellness Services through atWork Australia and continued to be supported by the In Work support team. With this range of support and encouragement, Amber started to realise her career goals. She wanted to pursue a long-term career in traffic control.
While working in hospitality, with the assistance from the atWork Australia team, Amber obtained her Traffic Management qualifications.
She now has a role she loves in traffic control and is heading towards her goal of being financially independent.
“Amber always goes above and beyond. This is evident through her commitment to employers, and to herself in reaching her goal,” said Kristie.
atWork Australia purchased Amber the work-related clothing she needed, and fuel vouchers to get to and from her new role.
“Working in traffic management has given me hope for the future as I would like to pursue a career in this field,” said Amber.
“Employment has provided me with drive, respect, and responsibility to myself and my community. I would not be where I am today without the assistance of atWork Australia,” said Amber.
