Many young people are stuck in a difficult cycle:

They need a job to afford transport.
But they need transport to get a job.

When we surveyed our customers in the 15-24 age bracket, most of them told us that they are looking for stability, growth and a pathway forward when it comes to their careers. The reality, however, is different: many young people are entering casual roles with limited hours, no clear progression and little certainty.

That’s why at AKG, we’re solving this disconnect. Swipe through the slides to read how we do this.

Congratulations Tenille on how far you’ve come!

When Tenille first came to us, she was in a tough place. Her mental health was taking a toll, and with it went her confidence and motivation to think about finding work. Job searching can feel impossible when you’re simply trying to get through each day.

Thanks to our Workforce Australia team, we helped Tenille land a job and the transformation has been incredible to witness.

More than just a pay check, it’s given her back her confidence and drive. Her mental health has improved in ways that remind us just how powerful meaningful work can be for our overall wellbeing.

We love Vicki’s open, positive attitude! She’s in the Workforce Australia program and is making the move from administration into retail.

Vicki already had a strong professional background, but she wanted to add targeted skills and knowledge in customer service to her toolkit. So, we referred her to the Introduction to Retail short course (done over 5 days), and now she’s got practical skills to thrive in real retail and customer service environments.

If you’re wanting to gain more skills, talk to your Job Coach about short courses that you can do.

The Introduction to Retail short course is delivered by Max Solutions RTO 0667.

Thank you to all the training providers, employers and service providers who were part of our Luv Ya Mob expo - connecting First Nations participants with employers, training providers, and support services.

Our CBD site was buzzing with activities such as finger painting, Indigenous craft, music, and good food.

Congrats to the two raffle winners!

We’re stoked that Tom landed a job doing what he loves: working outdoors.

When Tom joined our Workforce Australia program in November 2025, he faced some real challenges:
• Low confidence in his ability to find work
• Apprehension around job interviews and workplace environments
• Uncertainly about which direction to take

However, our team saw that Tom had a willingness to learn, resilience and was reliable.

Here’s how we supported him:
1. Practical exercises to challenge limiting thinking patterns and build positive self-image
2. Career exploration to identify roles that aligned with his interests. This led Tom to discover his passion for hands-on, outdoor work.
3. Enrolment in the Maximise My Career short course delivered by Max Solutions RTO, where Tom learned to identify his strengths and approach interviews with confidence.

And when Tom eventually secured his landscaping role, we eased the financial burden of entering the workforce by covering:
- Fuel vouchers
- Driving lesson reimbursement
- Work-related clothing

We’re so proud of Tom. Check out this video where he shares how he learned to approach job interviews more strategically.
