Meet Tracey Saunders, a proud Kalkadoon woman who has been thriving since joining our Women’s Business 2nd Chance program.
Tracey has a cheeky nature and a gift for self-expression. She set her sights on a traineeship, motivated by the opportunity to upskill and gain full-time employment.
As well as expanding her own horizons, she saw it as a way to support her children and family.
As well as participating in our Vision Board workshop, Tracey was supported with one-on-one mentoring by our Reach Out Officers.
Once she had set her goals, Tracey enrolled in a Certificate II in Applied Technologies with NSW TAFE.
She spent 2 years studying and gaining practical experience in a traineeship.
The WB2C team has been by her side, helping prepare and submit the documentation she needed to do her training and gain a traineeship.
During that time, Tracey was a finalist for the ‘Greater Western Sydney and Blue Mountains Region Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Student of the Year’ Award at the Metro Sydney NSW Awards!
She was also the proud recipient of an award from NSW Training showing her outstanding dedication and enthusiasm as a student.
We’re thrilled to share that since graduation, Tracey has gained full-time employment with Sydney Water and is loving her new career!
Our team is so proud of her and will continue to support her as she grows.
