Having a job provides more than just a paycheck.
While it’s always nice to earn money and enjoy the certain freedoms that can buy, studies have shown stable employment is also linked to our overall happiness and wellbeing.
Having a purpose is incredibly rewarding, and finding employment that you enjoy is important.
That’s why our jobactive and youth employment programs strive to find our job seekers work that aligns with their goals and values.
At IMPACT we aim to keep people motivated in their employment journey and work closely with our training organisation to help clients take the necessary steps towards their ideal jobs.
When looking for employment it’s important that job seekers have the ability to upskill into their desired field.
Assisting our clients to access further studies or gain relevant training is pivotal to their ongoing employment prospects.
Our wrap-around approach to training and employment offers holistic support to our clients in high-demand fields.
We offer Certificate III training in disability support, aged care, home and community care, and hospitality to ensure our clients are not only able to upskill into a rewarding field, but gain sustainable, ongoing employment.
Taking a new step can be daunting, however our training department offers an in-house upskilling option for people already engaged with IMPACT in other areas.
This provides our existing jobactive, Transition to Work or Skilling Queenslanders for Work program participants with a familiar environment while transition into new territory.
Many of our graduates are often able to secure work before finishing their certificates, and are blown away by the obstacles they have been able to overcome both personally and professionally throughout the duration of their course.
Along with training opportunities, we also encourage our clients to engage in other forms of work that can assist them in their employment goals.
Volunteering, gaining work experience and beginning internships are some of the ways we are able to help people make their first steps into employment or back into the workforce.
We pride ourselves on our approach to service delivery, and the employment and training departments replicate that.
Providing wrap-around support allows us to offer improved outcomes for our clients in all areas of employment, parenting and relationships, NDIS, health and mental wellbeing.
Helping people improve their lives is our philosophy and each of our departments strives to achieve this every day to best serve our Bundaberg community.
