Genuine, caring support gives Workforce Australia client, Mark the confidence to take the next step.
Mark entered the atWork Australia office in Hurstville, NSW after transferring providers. He was frustrated, held a negative mindset and was doubtful. He lives with Schizoid personality disorder, with symptoms of depersonalsation and behavioral outbursts. He was actively treating this.
His Job Coach, Viviana, got to know him in their first appointment together. They got an understanding of his barriers, interests, skills, goals and work history. All this information formed a plan to get him back into employment.
“Mark expressed a passion for labouring, and was keen on obtaining employment in the field,” shared Viviana.
“I made this the end goal of the plan. All steps taken before then, would assist in this goal.”
In the coming appointments, Mark would attend with low spirits. He was refusing to participate in any programs or activities to assist in gaining employment. Viviana reminded him of their purpose, instilling confidence.
Over time, through persistence and positivity, Viviana was able to build a positive rapport. Soon, Mark would be expressing his thanks to the team.
“He often expressed his happiness coming into appointments, and for the support he receives,” said local manager, Majaz.
With his new mindset, Mark completed a range of courses, including MoneyMinded, White Card and Digital Walkabout. He loved participating in these programs, learning a lot, and gaining confidence in himself and his abilities.
Whilst completing these programs, atWork Australia financially supported him via food vouchers, phone vouchers as well as re-instating his birth certificate.
Mark continues to work towards his goals with atWork Australia by his side. Off the back off all the support he has received, he is ready to enter the workforce whenever the perfect position arises.
“atWork Australia has made me find my confidence again. Every training program has helped me feel motivated and inspired to look for long term employment,” said Mark.
“Time after time, atWork Australia has supported me.” – Mark, atWork Australia Client
