As a young parent without a driver’s licence, she was unsure about her future and doubted her ability to find a job.
But with the support of the ParentsNext program, Briannon’s life took an inspiring turn.
From the moment she met her ParentsNext Planner, Briannon was given the tools and encouragement she needed to succeed.
They set clear goals to tackle her challenges head-on.
Recognising the power of new skills, Briannon dove into barista and food handling courses, emerging with fresh qualifications and a renewed sense of purpose.
Her hard work paid off when she landed a job at the Old Gippstown Tea Rooms, a milestone that filled her with excitement and hope for the future.
But Briannon’s ambitions didn’t stop there.
She had a dream of returning to study, and with her Planner’s help, she found the perfect course.
Enrolling in a Certificate IV in Alcohol and Drugs with Partners in Training, Briannon is set to start her studies in 2024, ready to balance work and education.
APM helped Briannon polish her resume and ace her job interviews, even providing professional attire through the Employment Assistance Fund.
Her preparation and determination shone through, leading to a successful interview at the Old Gippstown Tea Rooms..
Briannon’s manager couldn’t be happier, stating, “Briannon is an asset to our team. She brings so much to the table, and it’s a pleasure to have her working for us.”
This praise has only fuelled Briannon’s drive to succeed.
Reflecting on her journey, Briannon said, “Without my ParentsNext Planner, I wouldn’t have been able to overcome my past challenges and start working. I am so grateful for the support APM has given me, and I am excited to begin my studies this year.”
Briannon’s story is a powerful reminder of what can be achieved with clear goals and the right support.
