Michelle had a poor experience with previous employment, leaving her with very low confidence. Her experiences made her hesitant to return to the workplace.
Job coach, Alex, from the Modbury atWork Australia office worked with Michelle at the stage she was at. Instead of looking for jobs right away they focused on building her confidence and skills.
She completed a café course, retail service experience course, first aid course and the atWork Australia team helped her gain her working with children and police check.
They started to rebuild her resume with these new skills and courses she had successfully completed.
Some of the training courses Michelle participated in, involved meeting with employers, and she found these to be positive experiences.
Feeling more confident and with the knowledge that atWork Australia was by her side, Michelle agreed to be put forward for some roles.
atWork Australia connected her to a part time role in a school canteen. She successfully landed the role.
“atWork Australia supported Michelle, from when she was first struggling with motivation and anxiety, to now where she has built up her confidence in herself,” said Alex.
“She has put herself out there with training and even employment that she never would have thought she could do again before our support.”
“atWork Australia have an amazing team,” said Michelle.
“Alex, my Job Coach, supported me consistently by updating my resume with a fresh look, helping me find a job, organising clearances for me, enrolling me in a range of courses and continuing his support during my first few weeks of paid work.”
With the support of atWork Australia, Michelle now has the confidence she needs to flourish in the workplace. She has even expressed interest in moving up the ladder in her current role, something she never thought possible.
atWork Australia continues to support Michelle through In-Work Support.
