What sets our Work and Study Support program apart from other employment programs is the integration between our counselling and Work and Study Support teams.
When Dylan came to headspace Midland, he didn’t know what career path he wanted to take. His top priority was focusing on his mental health, and he wasn’t ready to commit to full-time study. After meeting with the Work and Study Support team, Dylan began exploring his options, and building the skills and confidence he needed to take the next steps towards a career.
headspace Midland supported Dylan by funding his S2 and S3 Pharmacy Assistance training. Dylan also worked with the team to refine his resume, practise interview skills, and building his confidence to approach employers.
After months of hard work, Dylan secured a position at Amcal Chemist, where he has been thriving for almost six months. Dylan has also made massive leaps forward in independence by gaining his driver’s license and buying a car. The experience with the Work and Study Support team has inspired him to dream even bigger—he’s now considering pursuing university studies to become a pharmacist.
Congratulations, Dylan, on overcoming barriers and reaching your goals! Your journey shows how determination and the right support can lead to incredible opportunities.
