StellaCareer Transition Assistance
The support from Global Skills and AES has been second to none – from work clothes and boots to following up each week or fortnight to see how I am going. The first question they ask is ‘Do you need anything?

The Trainers were extremely supportive and encouraging. Being out of work is a worrying time but they were very understanding and helpful, updated my resume and provided the reassurance I needed.

Scott, my DES Consultant, is Superman. He is always there when you need him. There have been times when my pain has become overwhelming, and Scott is always there to cheer me on – his weekly phone calls are motivating. I am NOT a number to him. I am a real person talking to another real person. They are asking real questions because they care.
Tim Disability Employment Services
I have trouble learning some things, so Scott said, ‘Get your phone out and video record it, you can repeatedly watch it whenever you want and it will help you remember tasks and processes.’ It worked for me. Scott’s 100% helpful.

He is a really nice fellow with a good attitude. He explained the 'new system' very clearly and patiently. He answered all my questions in a very professional and courteous way.

I must say, I never thought I would ever need any form of help to find employment, but as life has many ups and downs I found myself with health and age issues needing to reach out for help. Thanks to Global Skills and their friendly staff, in particular Laura Howard, for giving me the confidence and guidance to pursue the employment I have today. With our very challenging times (COVID-19) it was inspiring for me to deal with someone like Laura who is so committed and passionate towards helping people just like me. Thank you, Laura.

I completed the Construction Pre-Employment Program which provided me with additional training and education for employment. I thoroughly enjoyed interacting and gaining knowledge in an awesome training facility that accommodated a diversity of knowledge and skills. I highly commend Martin and his team. They went above and beyond in the support they provided throughout the program. I would recommend Global Skills to anyone looking for work.

She asked all the right questions and gave me valuable advice and suggestions. She connected me with resources, to help gain necessary skills, to assist with change of career due to health issues. I can confidently recommend Global Skills The Entrance for anyone looking for employment help, advice or support.
LauraWorkforce Australia
As a job seeker with unique disabilities, I would like to thank firstly Christine my Employment Consultant and secondly Global Skills for allowing my progress to continue. Christine showed compassion and a positive attitude towards reaching some goals, especially when I stopped believing in myself.

Thank you, Christine for your truly caring nature to my needs and desire to get back to work.
