Following completion of her training, Michelle has gained employment, tripled her income and is doing what she loves.
"I’d been in hospitality for more than 28 years. My brother in law was working in disability, supporting people to have more life opportunities. I hadn't studied since the seventies, but I was inspired."
"I saw an ad in the paper for a six week course at Noweyung Learn Local: Kickstart Your Career in the Disability Sector. It has changed my life. I loved every minute of it. It was very supportive and made me sure that Disability Support was what I wanted to do."
"The Skills and Jobs Centres provided advice as part of the Learn Local course. I booked a one-on-one session with them to work on my resume. The process made me realise that I had a lot of the attributes I needed. It gave me the confidence to pursue new career opportunities."
"At the end of my course, I was invited to an interview. I'm now a Personal Care Attendant at Noweyung Disability Service. I have tripled my income while working part-time and I am doing what I love."
““No matter how old you are, if you really want to do something and you get the right help, you can do it.””
