One of two Evolve Housing cadets, Kaylem decided to join the program to achieve her goal of making a career change.
Kaylem, aged 36, was previously working night shifts in a betting contact centre but found the unconventional hours difficult. She learned about the Evolve Housing cadetship online and was attracted by the opportunity to study and work at the same time.
Since beginning the cadetship, Kaylem has learned skills relevant to the industry, including signing contracts for leases and end of tenancies, procedures and protocols on how to sign-up tenants, and how to terminate contracts. She has enjoyed and benefited greatly from the experience so far while also learning how rewarding the work that Evolve does is.
“I think community housing providers play a crucial role in society. They provide properties for those that are homeless, in complex situations or who are low income earners. We also connect people to support services that help them maintain a better lifestyle,” Kaylem said.
“With all the knowledge and experience I gain with working at Evolve Housing and studying with CHIA (Community Housing Industry Association) NSW I want to apply that into a role within this industry to work with a community and help those that are in need.”
