Few things are quite as frustrating as the job hunt. Whether it’s because of lack of opportunity, inexperience, lack of skill, disability or just poor luck, sometimes a little support is all that’s needed.

Tiana, like many school-leavers, was thinking about her future career aspirations. Growing up with a physical and intellectual disability, however, meant that she didn’t always have the confidence to pursue her dreams.

That was until Lacee, a UnitingCare Employment consultant, began working with Tiana and supporting her in gaining the skills and self-assurance she required.

Before, I didn’t have much confidence in myself. Since I met Lacee, I’ve gotten the skills to get out of my shell. We’re a team.

- Tiana admits.

Through the support and guidance of UnitingCare Employment Service, Tiana has now secured a trainee retail position working at a newsagent and, in recognition of her efforts, was nominated School Based Apprentice or Trainee of the Year.
