Disability Employment Services Client, Kongsavanh, is a single parent who was looking to save money for his family’s future.
He met Job Coach, Anthea, at the Campbelltown atWork Australia office and had a few goals in mind.
He wanted to develop a routine to balance work responsibilities with personal and family time, and to establish a budget for everyday life while saving for their future needs.
“We started by looking at Kongsavanh’s strengths, interests, and needs,” said Anthea.
“Then we used our job match tool to see what type of role would be a good fit for Kongsavanh.”
atWork Australia then supported him with building a resume, interview preparation, and job searching.
He was also supported to obtain a white card, adding new skills to his resume.
Soon, Kongsavanh successfully secured an interview with a local employer. Thanks to his preparation, he aced the interview; impressing the manager and landing the job.
He also successfully negotiated flexible working hours with his employer to ensure he can do school drop off and pick up.
atWork Australia also supported Kongsavanh to purchase a toolbox and the tools he needed for the role. When Kongsavanh started working, atWork Australia continued to support him.
“We continued to provide support, including regular check-ins and advice on managing work schedules and responsibilities,” said Anthea.
“Kongsavanh has made remarkable strides in turning his life around. His commitment to his daughter’s well-being and his ability to overcome obstacles is truly inspiring.”
