Adam (51) was experiencing difficulties sustaining long-term employment during the lockdown as there were travel restrictions. Unfortunately, Adam was seeking employment when many businesses were closing, this led to Adam experiencing communication issues and he needed assistance with his job applications. Adam has a goal of becoming a Forklift Driver and was determined to achieve this goal.
Adam needed guidance in identifying his strengths and he wanted a work location closer to his home, as he experienced difficulties with taking public transport to work.
Adam met his Job Coach, Sarah, at his local atWork Australia office in Campbelltown. Sarah assisted Adam in identifying suitable employment opportunities with employers that were located close to public transport and would allow Adam to enjoy his role and work with an understanding employer. Sarah contacted employers and highlighted Adam’s skills and interests to support him in the application process.
During the application and interview process, Adam remained very positive and cooperative and was determined to work towards his goal of becoming a Forklift Driver. Adam had his Forklift license and was ready to take on an employment opportunity. With the assistance of Job Coach Sarah, Adam secured a Forklift Driver role.
Adam is thriving in his new job and has been offered a permanent position. It has been over six months since he secured this role.
When Sarah told Adam the exciting news, he was: “very appreciative and excited to start his new job. Adam felt welcomed and his hard work enabled him to reach his goal.”
Job Coach Sarah also assisted Adam with his induction and online training, after he secured the job.
Sarah says: “Adam has always been appreciative of the assistance we provided, and we worked closely to manage his barriers and celebrated every achievement towards his goal.”
Adam says: “Sarah and the atWork Australia team have always been approachable and helpful in enabling me to achieve my goal. They assisted me with my onboarding, associated documents and helped me communicate in my workplace. I now feel confident and proud of my new role.”
