19-year-old client, Joshua, loves planes. He finished a cadetship with the RAAF during his school years and then pursued Aero flying lessons. When Joshua realised how expensive flying lessons would be, he came to atWork Australia for support to find employment.
Joshua started applying for roles but was feeling discouraged when he didn’t have any success.
He met Job Coach, Vilda, at the atWork Australia office in Sunbury. Vilda got to know Joshua, and in her experience working in Inclusive Employment, she knew Joshua would excel in a role that he was passionate about.
“I identified Joshua’s strengths and weaknesses, then supported him build his resume and practice mock interviews,” said Vilda.
“I encouraged him and shared that with his knowledge of the aviation sector he would find meaningful work.”
Vilda’s positive attitude spread to Joshua and he shared with his grandmother that he felt he would get a job with atWork Australia’s support.
With a standout resume, highlighting his passion for aviation, Joshua and Vilda spent time in his appointments applying for roles. Joshua felt respected and valued as a client.
Joshua soon landed a role at Swissport Aust as a Ramp officer at the Tullamarine airport. He also achieved an interview with Qantas.
Joshua hopes to reach his goal by having a management role within a year of working with Swissport. He also plans to pursue flying training to achieve his pilot’s license.
Joshuas family said that atWork Australia have been brilliant from the first moment they stepped into the Sunbury office. They shared that not only has Joshua found his smile again but always felt that there would be a positive outcome with Vildas help.
Joshua can only see a brighter future now that he is able to prove to his employer that he can succeed in any area within the sector of Aviation transport industry.
“I always felt that I was going somewhere and would be successful with Job Coach Vilda’s support,” said Joshua.
