A Titan Visit At The QLD Frontline Conference Staff Profile
After talking to her trainer, Livenya, about her work ambitions, a work experience position came up at Afford’s National Head Office in Minchinbury, NSW. Stella jumped at the opportunity to get started! Stella was very fortunate to spend time and train with the already seasoned Afford receptionists, Mikala and Donna. Both ladies were extremely helpful in showing Stella the ropes of working in an office environment. During her work experience, Stella answered phone calls, completed labelling and scanning tasks and was able to meet and greet many of the head office staff of Afford. Stella was an absolute star in her role! She took on every task with enthusiasm and enjoyed the office environment. Her long term goal is to secure paid employment in an office and this experience at our National Head Office will be essential for her to reach that long term goal.
