determine your eligibility and support you through the process of
enrolling in the program - they will make it very easy. To ensure
it is a rewarding experience, IMPACT staff continue to support you
throughout the time you are involved.
PARENTS RETURNING TO
WORK
Parents are encouraged to
be involved, and IMPACT will work with you to organise your work
experience around your child care commitments. We also help you to
work around school holidays and other times when you just can't be
available.
INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING
TO PARTICIPATE
Assistance is provided to
help arrange voluntary work experience placements. A history of
volunteering looks very attractive to a potential employer than a
history of unemployment showing no community connection.
So why not volunteer for
work experience to connect into your local community, learn new
skills, create employment networks and meet new friends.
EXTRA JOB SEARCH SUPPORT
WHILE YOU GAIN WORK SKILLS
IMPACT ensures you have
additional job search assistance to help you reach your goal.
Experienced staff help with resumes and letters of application and
a range of resources are available to you which include computers,
telephone, fax, Internet and more. Take advantage of all the help
you can get to reach your employment goal.
TRAINING CREDITS
IMPACT staff make sure you
are aware of the Training Credits you are earning and help you
identify training or licenses that will enhance your job searching
efforts - this is one of the great BONUSES available to you
rewarding your dedication to your search for work.
