Sean and APM Employment Services

One half of APM’s role is working with a job seeker so they become a successful DES participant, and the other half is connecting with employers and finding the right position for them.  

Amelia, Sean’s Employment Consultant, began approaching local employers and quickly found a great fit with Geoff, the owner of a print and design company.  

“Sean had done a diploma in graphic design, it was in an area we thought that he would want to work in and Geoff also had an understanding of the struggles that Sean was facing day-to-day,” said Amelia. 

It was perfect for Sean as it suited his skillset and addressed his barriers by providing close access to a bathroom.  

Sean also suited Geoff’s needs and overcame a significant challenge of finding good people in a regional area. 

“In the small country area here, finding suitable staff, suitably qualified staff is always an issue,” Geoff said. 

“To have someone come into town that had the skill set we were specifically looking for… He's made such a significant benefit to the business, and he's picked it up so quick. It's been wonderful.” 

Unsurprisingly, Sean is so appreciative of the help and support he has received. 

“Anybody who has a medical condition or a disability or anything that can basically act as a barrier for them entering the workforce.  

“APM will make that transition so much easier, and I would recommend it to anybody.”
