Kimberlaine is mature aged, and felt she was being judged for her age by potential employers.
She was connected to atWork Australia in Morley for support to find work.
“Kimberlaine had always been an independent woman and was looking for work to have her independence back,” said Tyaneill, atWork Australia facilitator.
“She wanted to be surrounded by people and find a place of work where she can be herself but also bring some of her own experience into a role.”
In the local area, atWork Australia has a good relationship with an employer who offers fly in fly out work opportunities.
Kimberlaine was referred to our identify and prepare for employment program (IPEP), in conjunction with the employers ‘SoBelong’ program.
The IPEP course focuses on preparing clients for the role through soft skills, tailored interview preparation, and gaining a full understanding of the roles and responsibilities. Clients also have an insight into the employer and a role to ensure it would be a good fit for them.
While the ‘SoBelong’ program offers practical learning, cultural support, wellbeing guidance and a clear pathway into job opportunities with the employer.
“Kimberlaine’s presence in this program was undeniable, she was confident well-spoken and had the capability to really draw on her skills,” said Tyaneill who facilitated the course.
“During the session, the information she had learnt about the employer really enlightened her and made her feel as though she would be a great fit.”
Kimberlaine has now progressed into the next stage of the recruitment process.
“I am so grateful for the time Tyaneill put into the program,” said Kimberlaine.
“Her delivery of information was well executed, as well as being relatable and knowledgeable. She really made the room feel comfortable in her space.”
“I’m excited to continuously progress forward into a happy future.” – Kimberlaine, atWork Australia Job Coach.
