Congratulations to Tian who has just completed a staggering 816 hours of training with our SEE program in Cairns.
Tian is a Thai woman who attended school in her own country only until the age of 12. After running her own small business in a busy market place in Thailand, then moving to Australia with her husband and raising a family of three children, she has been working on a farm for a few years but realised she needed some help in learning to speak, read and write in English in order to get sustainable employment. With the help of her Job Search Agency she joined STEPS Skills for Education & Employment program and has made wonderful progress.
The best part of all is the great increase she has had in her confidence!
With the help of Lisa, our work experience consultant, Tian was able to gain some valuable work experience time in a major hotel complex and a boutique glass-blowing jewellery store. She did so well that she has been offered some casual work with the jewellery store and in fact, her boss was so pleased with her she gave her a gift – a necklace.
Tian is a very responsible student and was always very generous with her fellow students – we wish her every opportunity in finding more work and continuing to achieving her goals.
