When Nicole first connected with atWork Australia in Moolap, she had been working as a cleaner but wanted to change careers.
She wasn’t too sure what she would like to do instead. Nicole and Job Coach, Tahlia, had a long discussion of what Nicole’s short- and long-term goals were. After career guidance from Tahlia, Nicole thought because of her caring nature she would be suited to and enjoy doing Support Work.
Tahlia supported Nicole to enrol in a Certificate III in Individual Support right away. Tahlia’s belief in Nicole and her guidance was a big help to Nicole reaching her career goals.
Nicole faced some challenges of trying to fit in study and work, Tahlia provided reassurance to Nicole. She discussed and created a schedule to make sure Nicole was achieving her goals whilst completing all her personal tasks.
“Since working with the atWork Australia team I have reached some of my career goals. Tahlia’s guidance has helped me pursue my career as a support worker,” said Nicole.
Through that guidance, Nicole started reaching out to employers in Individual Support work. It wasn’t long before she landed a role working a few hours a week.
Her new employer agreed to provide on the job training while she completed her certificate with the goal of more hours once she was qualified.
Tahlia supported Nicole to gain her first aid certificate that was needed for her new job.
“I am now doing valuable on the job training as well as completing my certificate,” said Nicole.
“Tahlia is very professional, reliable and helpful.”
The atWork Australia team continues to support Nicole as she finishes her certificate.
“Job Coach, Tahlia is exceptionally easy to speak to, she is approachable, knowledgeable and very understanding. She helped me reach my career goals,” said Nicole.
