Nicholas' Journey - Building Independence and Skills with Mylestones Employment
At Mylestones, we believe everyone deserves the chance to build a fulfilling career, no matter the challenges they face. Nicholas's story is a powerful example of resilience, support, and the life-changing impact of meaningful employment.
When Nicholas first connected with Mylestones in 2021, he was going through a tough period with health and mobility challenges that made work feel out of reach. Employment wasn't his immediate focus, instead he was concentrating on recovery and finding stability.
At Mylestones, we're dedicated to investing in people's potential and supporting them every step of the way. When Nicholas rejoined us in 2024, we helped him access the Certificate I in Construction (CEA) program, and a chance to build skills and confidence.
Nicholas embraced this opportunity with determination. Within weeks, he became a team leader, showing leadership and dedication despite ongoing mobility challenges. Over the five-month program, Nicholas showed a strong commitment to growth and success, putting in his best effort to build new skills and embrace every opportunity.
His hard work paid off - his paychecks helped him regain financial control, and he was able to purchase a vehicle, easing previous transportation difficulties and increasing his independence.
After completing the CEA program, Nicholas secured ongoing employment with Moore Community as a gardener, where he continues to thrive and look forward to a promising future.
Nicholas's journey is a testament to what's possible when the right support meets personal determination. At Mylestones, we're passionate about creating sustainable employment opportunities that empower people to develop skills, earn an income, and realise their full potential.
If you or someone you know is ready to take the next step towards meaningful work, Mylestones is here to help. Together, we can break down barriers and open doors to new opportunities.
