When client, Luca, first connected with atWork Australia he was desperate to find work, and create a positive change in his life.
Luca was on home detention, without a driver’s licence, navigating legal matters, and having strict requirements on where he could and couldn’t work.
With these significant barriers to work, Luca was connected to atWork Australia for assistance.
Together with his Job Coach, Gelyn, they applied for many roles, and with Luca’s barriers he was often unsuccessful in the roles.
They worked on upskilling with Luca participating in a white card, and a forklift ticket.
He also participated in the Launch into work program with AHS Hospitality gaining new skills and experience.
Gelyn continued to encourage Luca, and he worked hard to find employment. Actively participating in appointments and working hard to participate in all activities recommended by Gelyn. His determination shone through.
Soon a role became available with an employer who regularly works with atWork Australia to find quality candidates.
Gelyn and the atWork Australia team advocated for Luca, and the employer quickly saw his motivation and desire to work through his continued follow ups.
Luca was a good fit for the employer due to his physical fitness required for the role.
atWork Australia supported Luca with transport to get to his interview, and now that he is working as a production worker, to get to and from work.
He is now working towards gaining his motorbike licence, with the assistance of atWork Australia, so he can travel independently to work.
