District 1 HCMC is a Vietnamese restaurant with a reputation for authentic Vietnamese food.
Director, Andrew, had been looking for a Vietnamese home cook who could give him a hand in preparing the dishes that carried the home-taste.
At this same time, Employer Engagement Consultant, Rachael, from atWork Australia was looking for an opportunity for client Thi.
Rachael approached Andrew, and advocated for Thi, and Andrew decided to give her a chance.
“Thi has proven to be an asset to the business,” said Rachael.
“In return, her new employer provided her the chance to create and to prepare more dishes she is passionate about.”
“Thi is now in charge of the grill with Bun Cha (BBQ pork) and spring rolls. Andrew even joins Thi in the kitchen some days in the week to show her support.”
For Andrew and the District 1 HCMC, they don’t believe they would have found a passionate home cook without the assistance of atWork Australia.
“atWork Australia has found me not only a kitchenhand, but a passionate home cook who shares the same aspiration with me – to show the world the authentic taste of our cuisine,” said Andrew.
atWork Australia takes pride in matching the right clients with the right role so both business and people can thrive.
