Jo-Anne is on a clean path to success

In the heart of the small outback town of Roma, Jo-Anne, a resilient individual, embarked on a transformative journey with AimBig Employment. Her triumph over multiple barriers resonates with many of us as we navigate the trials and tribulations of the employment landscape. Jo-Anne’s path had many challenges, including brief stints at various companies across diverse roles, all plagued by an inability to secure lasting employment. It was in July 2022 that she found solace in AimBig Employment, seeking refuge from previous experiences where she felt her voice had gone unheard, overwhelmed by the bewildering demands placed upon her, and an overwhelming lack of clarity.

Jo-Anne’s initial encounters with other Workforce Australia Service Providers and Job Coaches had disheartened her. She described a feeling of isolation, a sensation that her needs were not being comprehended, and an erosion of her self-confidence in finding the right job. However, her fortunes were about to change as she crossed paths with Job Coach Kieren, a true beacon of trust and adaptability. Under Kieren’s guidance, Jo-Anne began building a strong rapport, gradually restoring her confidence and enabling her to engage in candid discussions about her employment-related challenges.

Kieren approached their collaboration with sensitivity, assessing Jo-Anne’s unique circumstances and identifying the most fitting employment avenues aligned with her needs. With this knowledge, Kieren leveraged her local network to reach potential employers and foster promising employment prospects. The culmination of their efforts bore fruit when Jo-Anne was offered a trial opportunity as a casual cleaner at 22 On Bowen, a local motel. Overjoyed and determined to make the most of this chance, Jo-Anne immersed herself wholeheartedly in her new role.

After her week-long trial, the verdict was clear — Jo-Anne had excelled, securing the position. Kieren swiftly tapped into Employment Funds to ensure Jo-Anne possessed comfortable and appropriate footwear and work attire, a testament to her dedication in appearance and adherence to the motel’s stringent workwear standards.

Fast forward three and a half months and Jo-Anne’s life had been profoundly transformed. She radiated with confidence and embodied a can-do attitude. The owners and managers of 22 On Bowen commend her for her meticulous attention to detail, high cleaning standards, exceptional work ethic, and delightful presence as an integral part of their establishment. Jo-Anne’s contributions have not gone unnoticed beyond her initial role as a casual cleaner, resulting in her promotion to the position of Head Cleaner. Furthermore, she has gracefully embraced additional responsibilities and is currently undergoing training for a receptionist role, acquiring a wealth of new work and life skills.

Jo-Anne accredits her newfound happiness and job satisfaction to Kieren, whose support and thoughtful consideration of her needs have set her on the right career path. Kieren continues to be a pillar of support, regularly checking in on Jo-Anne, further cementing her gratitude for the life-changing opportunity and the unyielding support she receives from her employers and her dedicated Job Coach.
