Hanesavath’s hard work pays off in back to work journey

After years of caring for his mother, Hanesavath was ready to re-enter the workforce but faced challenges due to his age and a long employment gap.

Determined to make a change, he sought help from APM Employment Services.

At APM Salisbury, in South Australia, Hanesavath met Lily, who guided him through the Workforce Australia program.

Lily tailored his support and enrolled him in the Career Transition Assistance (CTA) program, designed to help mature-age job seekers build confidence and develop essential skills.

Here, Hanesavath learned resume writing, identified suitable industries, and marketed himself to potential employers.

To be competitive, Hanesavath, who had been out of work for 16 years, needed to update his qualifications.

With Lily's support, he obtained a forklift license, completed a CV Check, a white card, and a police check.

Each step tested his resolve but brought him closer to his goal.

His hard work paid off when he completed a Certificate I in Employment Pathways through the Skills and Jobs Australia program, empowering him to communicate his strengths to employers.

Soon after, Hanesavath secured a role as a Production Worker/Machine Operator with Asset Personnel.

Lily continued to support him, helping him purchase essential work clothing and a fuel voucher.

His confidence soared, and he felt a renewed sense of purpose and belonging in his workplace.

Today, Hanesavath is thriving in his role, and his story serves as an inspiration to others.

He is grateful for the unwavering support from APM and Lily.

“APM helped me to find a job and provided me with all of the help needed to do so. I am so happy with this servicing and thank APM for assisting me with everything,” he said.

Hanesavath’s journey highlights the power of perseverance and the positive impact of employment on health and wellbeing.

It also underscores the benefits of tailored assistance and ongoing support.
