Intelife are thrilled to be one of three WA Australian Disability Enterprises to receive a grant from the Cook Government which was recently announced by the Hon Minister Don Punch.
We were recently in Bunbury to meet with the minister for the announcement which will enable us to launch a Pilot program in the South West region supporting our participants in developing a strong set of work readiness skills, whilst opening pathways and relationships with government agencies and businesses, ultimately taking that experience and new found skills into gaining open employment.
Michael Allen-Williams from our Busselton Hub, joined CEO Paul Fleay and GM Support Services Andrea Williams for morning tea with Minister Punch, which was all captured by the Bunbury Herald and GWN. Michael has a Cert III in Horticulture and one of his primary goals is to gain paid employment, to get a job using his skills and knowledge.
We are looking forward to seeing what the future holds for not only Michael, but others in the region who may benefit from this program.
