Alaskah’s story is an example of how cross-program collaboration at Real Futures ensures that the people we serve receive the right support at the right time to achieve meaningful employment outcomes.
Alaskah came to Real Futures as a participant in the Transition to Work program, where we supported her with exploring career pathways towards her goal of working in marine science. With our support, after going through a highly competitive recruitment process, Alaskah was offered an opportunity as a trainee marine biologist and diver on the Great Barrier Reef.
The Transition to Work team supported her with covering the cost of medical, fitness and diving assessments.
During this time, Alaskah was navigating health challenges so we referred her to our Inclusive Employment Australia team so that she can access more tailored support. Our Inclusive Employment Australia team supported her with her relocation from Geraldton, WA to Far North Queensland, and are continuing to support her as she embarks on her career in marine science.
