“Jennifer has grown into a confident woman. She shows this confidence through how she holds herself, approaches life and engages with everyone. Her possibilities are endless,” – Boo,  atWork Australia Job Coach

First Nations client, Jennifer, first connected with atWork Australia when she was 18 years old. She was looking for her first job.

With no previous work experience, Jennifer was unsure of what a working environment would be like. She lacked confidence, wasn’t sure how to speak to employers and felt she had no skills to offer.

atWork Australia Job Coach, Boo, got to know Jennifer. She worked to understand what Jennifer believed was holding her back.

They started with small steps and every time Jennifer successfully completed that step, they celebrated together, and Jennifer became more confident.

Boo supported Jennifer to gain her identification, then purchased glasses, and she completed her Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) certificate.

Jennifer was also connected to organisation Dress for Success which supports young women build confident with interview clothing.

With her new RSA, Jennifer landed work in hospitality, but she soon fell out of employment as the role wasn’t a good fit for her.

Boo was by her side during that moment and encouraged Jennifer to think about the experience positively and to continue to build momentum.

Jennifer was then referred to our Jobs for the Mob program which supports First Nations clients with goal setting and pre-employment skills such as building a resume.

One day, Jennifer spotted a traineeship role in youth work. She thought ‘that is my dream job’ and called Boo for support.

Boo encouraged Jennifer. Supported her to apply and coached her through her interview. She is now working in a social worker traineeship and thriving.

“Without support, Jennifer would not have been able to gain the confidence she needed to enter the workforce,” said Boo.

“She was able to get back up when she was down and has now reached for the stars.”

“Jennifer has grown into a confident woman. She shows this confidence through how she holds herself, approaches life and engages with everyone. Her possibilities are endless,” said Boo.
