Hard work & perseverance resulted in employment for Mitch.

Scott, who runs SMP Fabrication in Wauchope, was looking for a steel fabricator welder.

TURSA had been in regular contact with Scott and recommended Mitchell for a job. Scott had some concerns as the job available was hard work and at the lower end of the pay scale. He offered Mitch to come and try out. Mitch showed a great work ethic and enthusiasm. As a result, Scott was impressed and decided to support Mitch with a casual position.

This was all Mitch needed to motivate him. TURSA further supported Mitchell by providing him with clothing and some welding gear.

Scott was so impressed has been in touch with the TAFE college to enquire about enrolling Mitchell in a welding course to further develop his skills.

With his hard work and determination, Mitchell could potentially have sustained employment at SMP Fabrication.

Scott is happy TURSA helped in finding a dedicated employee, and Mitchell is grateful for the opportunity to work in a job he enjoys.

Tursa Employment & Training in partnership with Many Rivers Regional Housing in Port Macquarie has recently helped Kathy secure employment as a finance officer. It’s a role she never expected to have, but she’s enjoying the challenge and feeling confident in her abilities. However, it wasn’t an easy journey for Kathy to get to this point. She had been unemployed since 2011, taking time off work to care for her son and then transitioning into community work for 10 years. When her husband’s health issues required her to return to the workforce, Kathy struggled to find employment in a culturally supportive environment.

Despite facing challenges, Kathy persevered and found support through Leslie Williams who helped continue the work Kathy had started and, with TURSA. This was a major turning point for her, as she was able to work with a group that understood her cultural background and found an organisation as well that supported her efforts to revive the language and cultural practices of the Aboriginal community in the area.

Kathy credits TURSA with being instrumental in her success, providing the cultural support she needed and helping her secure a position that aligns with her skills and interests. She encourages others facing similar challenges to seek out resources and support to help them achieve their goals.

Overall, Kathy’s journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of having a supportive community. Her story serves as an inspiration to anyone struggling to find employment and highlights the critical role that organizations like TURSA play in helping individuals overcome barriers and achieve their dreams.
