Finding and keeping a job can be a challenging journey, but for JS, determination and the right support system made all the difference. Now employed for 26 weeks and counting, JS’s story is a testament to resilience and the power of perseverance.
JS was one of the jobseekers who participated in the Try A Hospitality program last year. During her training with Lo’s, she demonstrated her skills and dedication, leading to a job offer. However, securing employment was just the first step—ensuring she could consistently show up for work presented another challenge.
Without her own transportation, JS faced a major hurdle. But instead of letting this setback hold her back, she took matters into her own hands—literally—by purchasing an e-scooter to commute to work. This decision showcased her unwavering commitment and problem-solving mindset. It’s a perfect example of how, when you truly want something, you’ll find a way to make it happen.
Throughout her journey, the team at AAC provided invaluable support, ensuring JS had everything she needed to succeed, including a work uniform. The backing of a strong support system played a crucial role in helping her maintain stability in her new role.
JS’s hard work has not gone unnoticed. Her managers, Ginger and Steven, are incredibly pleased with her performance and dedication. Their satisfaction reflects JS’s ability to not only meet but exceed expectations in her role.
JS’s journey proves that with determination, resourcefulness, and the right support, overcoming employment challenges is possible. Her story serves as an inspiration to jobseekers everywhere—persistence pays off!
