Workforce Australia is the Australian Government’s employment services program, connecting job seekers with tailored support and local employers across the country. AKG is one of the providers delivering these services, offering personalised coaching, skills development, and practical assistance to help people re-enter the workforce with confidence. This is the story of Ethan, a Workforce Australia customer whose determination—paired with the right support—led to a complete life turnaround.
A Fresh Start
Ethan is one of our Workforce Australia customers who has completely turned his life around, and we’re proud to have been part of his journey.
When he came to us at the end of May, he had successfully overcome drug and alcohol abuse. By mid-April, we helped him secure a job in his field of trade.
Connecting Ethan to Opportunity
AKG Job Coach Hannah understood that Ethan needed to find employment quickly to stay on track with his life. Leveraging AKG’s broad employer networks, Hannah connected him to an employer who offered him a role as a carpenter.
Setting Ethan Up for Success
To help Ethan hit the ground running, AKG supported him with covering the cost of:
- Renewing his White Card
- Workwear
- Trade tools
Looking Ahead
We’re continuing to support Ethan as he settles into his new role, where there is potential for him to advance to a supervisor position.
