Over the next few weeks, Kenya helped Terry update his resume, fill out job applications, and practise for interviews.
When Terry came to the APM office to announce he had landed a truck driver job with a local Darwin transport company, Kenya and the whole team was thrilled.
But their support didn’t end there.
To start his new job, Terry needed a Traffic History Check and help to buy the necessary uniform and safety gear.
Kenya arranged for APM to cover these costs and helped Terry complete his onboarding documents.
Terry started his new job a few weeks later and quickly settled into a good routine.
He loved his new work environment and found his colleagues to be very supportive, even though he didn't enjoy getting caught in the rain during deliveries.
Over the next several months, Kenya continued to support Terry, helping him with any issues that came up.
When Terry experienced pain in his ankles and needed to see a podiatrist, APM covered the cost of the appointment and the orthotics he needed.
Today Terry will soon celebrate 52 weeks of employment.
He regularly visits the APM office with a big smile on his face and his employer recently told Kenya they are very impressed with Terry's work ethic and love having him on the team.
