Today is International Day of Older Persons… Older Australians are important contributors to Australia’s workforce.

The CTA program is a 3-8 week program designed to support mature age job seekers build new skills, boost confidence and become more competitive in the local job market.

What a day! 🏉 We had a blast at the Adelaide Crows AFLW game at Unley Oval against the Hawks. Thanks to everyone who stopped by our stand and participated in the 'Vertical Leap' challenge. With over 3,000 tickets sold, the crowd and atmosphere was electric as the AFLW Crows' brought home their 3rd consecutive win! One of our lucky Transition to Work customers, Siovhan, had the opportunity to do the coin toss kicking-off the game. We also had 15 Workskil Australia staff friends and family involved in the guard of honour, cheering the girls onto the field. It was a perfect day for football and a great opportunity to get involved in the community.

“Making new friends starts with stepping out of your comfort zone” Felix joined Workskil Australia's Inclusive Pathways to Employment (IPE) program through a local high school referral. His goal was to build his confidence and engage more within his community. Through youth activities and meeting new people, Felix gradually built his confidence. After volunteering at a local Op Shop, he transitioned into the Transition to Work (TtW) program, honing his communication and job seeking skills through initiatives like Job Club. Felix is now excited to get his learner's permit and pursue future opportunities! #InclusivePathways #TransitionToWork #Youth #BuildingConfidence #FindingEmployment
