Support To Thrive have been working with Jacob to create a customised employment plan. We are currently in the assessment and skill building phase.

Jacob then recruited his awesome support worker Al from ‘Looking for Ants’ who works with him weekly to service and upgrade small, motored items. Support To Thrive assisted Jacob connect with the commuity to seek donations of small motored items. Over the next 6-12 months, Jacob will continue to develop his skills and knowledge.

Black Cat’s Craft

Tarlia is the creative director and owner of Black Cat Craft: Tarlia was looking for part time employment while she completed her studies to become a teachers’ aid. She was finding it challenging to find a role that met her needs, skills and strengths. She decided to recruit the Support To Thrive team under her ‘School Leaver Employment Supports, SLES’ funding to develop a customised employment plan. The Support To Thrive team spent time with Tarlia to identify her skills and interests and the types of work she might like to engage in. It soon became evident that Tarlia loved arts and craft and was very talented in this area. Her preference was to run her own business so she could work flexible hours, in her own home doing the things she loved. After lots of exploration around business ideas and models, Black Cat’s Craft was born. You can make personalised orders by emailing: [email protected]
