Tarlia, one of our Transition to Work participants from Geraldton, WA, recently secured her first job as a Retail Team Member at Spotlight. 

Our team supported Tarlia by helping her build confidence, independence and job readiness. 

This included: 

  • Connecting her with the Driver Safety Workshop, delivered alongside Remote Services from the Department of Transport. Tarlia successfully gained her learner’s permit, giving her more independence to pursue work opportunities. 
  • Referring her to Dress for Success WA, where she received guidance on professional presentation and built confidence for job interviews. 

Tarlia is now working towards her next goal: securing a hairdressing apprenticeship. 

Our Transition to Work team will continue supporting her as she takes the next steps towards this dream.
