Sonia is a parent of a young child who was hoping to gain support from atWork Australia to find employment within school hours. Her goal was to find a secure career that would help her provide for her family without financial stress.
She wasn’t confident in her ability to find work as she had outdated qualifications and medical conditions which impacted the type of work she could perform.
Without employment, Sonia could not afford the cost of upskilling and updating her qualifications.
“When I first met Sonia, she was not keen to discuss her future,” said Job Coach, Alex.
“She was under stress due to financial hardship and believed that her lack of relevant skills would impact her ability to find work within school hours.”
Alex worked with Sonia, and together they made a step-by-step plan to help Sonia reach her goals.
“Sonia was able to understand exactly what to do, and how to get to her goals,” said Alex.
“Over time, after participating in activities and her progress appointments, Sonia gained confidence and interest in her future. She could start to see her future taking shape and her confidence grew.”
Having atWork Australia able to support Sonia financially to upskill was a big moment in building her confidence. She participated in a customer service course and responsible service of alcohol. atWork Australia also supported her with transport assistance and appropriate interview clothes.
With new confidence, Sonia was successful in landing a retail job within school hours to suit her needs.
“Through her participation and support from atWork Australia, Sonia believes that anything really is possible,” said Alex.
“The help from atWork Australia and Alex my Job Coach has been important to my journey, not only did they help me gain relevant qualifications, but they also helped me with my personal goals,” said Sonia.
