Leonard's journey to secure and stable employment in Moree

Achieving stable employment can sometimes be a challenging process, especially when health barriers come into play. For Leonard, a Moree resident, this challenge became an opportunity for transformation with the support of the Disability Employment Services (DES) program provided by BEST Employment.

Leonard, who first joined the DES program in February 2020, faced difficulty finding a position that could accommodate his health barriers while offering consistent and ongoing employment. Equipped with qualifications in Traffic Control, Leonard sought assistance from BEST Employment to further enhance his employability. With their support, he successfully updated his "Workers on Foot" ticket, a critical requirement for Traffic Control roles.

BEST Employment didn’t stop there; they worked closely with Leonard to find suitable job opportunities. Their effort bore fruit when Leonard secured a position with a Traffic Control company in August 2021. The role not only satisfied his need for stability but also placed him within a long-term contract, providing consistent hours and reliability.

Since then, Leonard has thrived within his role, completing additional training to diversify his responsibilities and contribute to other projects within the same company. Today, he continues to excel, demonstrating the effectiveness of targeted support through the DES program.
