Worklinks Paves The Way To Success

Worklinks QLD Ltd provides confidence-boosting courses for both young people and adults, aimed at enabling them to progress into employment or additional training opportunities. Worklinks has assisted numerous participants in overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles and finding fulfilling employment.

Worklinks has been at the forefront of helping those in our community with their career goals since its inception in 1997. Jan Robinson, CEO of Worklinks, said “Participants may have anxiety, lack confidence, and feel that no one can help, or just need a little bit of assistance to get them over the line and into a job, this is where Worklinks can assist.

Worklinks is a community-based organisation with branches located in Mitchelton, Strathpine, Kippa-Ring and Caboolture. The organisation provides personalised assistance to small groups of participants, incorporating accredited training and comprehensive support, all under the supervision of experienced trainers and youth workers.

The first goal is to boost the confidence of the participant, providing the individual with the inner strength for the next step, whether that be further training or into a job. Worklinks staff understand there can be many obstacles, but by getting the support needed can give the help to overcome those challenges. Worklinks fully funded courses – no cost to participants – are for unemployed people not receiving assistance from the Australian
