After having worked many years in the factory industry, Simon* was met with some unfortunate events which led him to having his licence suspended. This ultimately led to Simon being let go from his employment.
Not wanting to let this deter him, Simon began applying for employment within the factory/warehousing industry, and kept at it for over a year, but with no luck. At this point, he decided that perhaps a change of industry is what was needed.
Workforce Australia client, Simon entered atWork Australia, Ravenswood, TAS and met Job Coach, Nicole. They worked on getting Simon back on track.
Simon participated in Money Minded, a short course to learn more about managing finances, along with others to help him become job ready. These courses helped Simon feel more confident when it came to job searching and interviews.
Nicole also helped him obtain his forklift licence, police check and working with vulnerable people check.
Once he got his licence back, Simon applied for work with a local cleaning and gardening business, and he got a role as a contractor.
Nicole, his Job Coach, also helped him obtain his ABN and Simon was all set up and ready to work in January 2025.
Being able to understand that Simon was looking for a change, meant Job Coach Nicole could tailor the support she gave him to obtain employment.
A new beginning is just what Simon needed and he’s now very happy to be back in employment.
