In 2023, Disability Employment Services client, Carlos, was experiencing a challenging time in his life.
“I was dealing with illness, anxiety, unemployment and the possibility of homelessness,” said Carlos.
Carlos attended the atWork Australia office in Fortitude Valley, needing urgent support and assistance.
Job Coach, Mykie, connected Carlos to a variety of local community services for the urgent support he needed.
Mykie also explained to Carlos other ways atWork Australia could support him, including finding employment, setting up a routine and being a regular person who could encourage and motivate Carlos along the way.
Through regular appointments, Carlos and Mykie discussed his employment goals and strategies to meet those goals.
Carlos was provided with food vouchers and public transport vouchers so he could focus on his employment goals.
They did interview preparation and practice, and Carlos found meaningful employment in vehicle detailing.
Carlos said that having someone support him to maintain a positive mindset was a big part of his journey.
“I would like to emphasise that maintaining a positive mindset and putting forth our best efforts are crucial,” said Carlos.
“atWork Australia provided me with vital financial support and worked closely with me to facilitate my re-entry into the workforce, implementing strategies that gradually helped me overcome my challenges.”
