Sometimes our STEPS job seekers have few transferable skills to help them gain meaningful employment. However, a great working partnership between Rumba Resort & STEPS Group Australia is changing all that!
The Bulcock Street, Caloundra business has made a wonderful contribution to the local community by giving STEPS job seekers the opportunity to learn new and valuable housekeeping skills.
Director of Rumba Resort, Mark Hall, has supported our job seekers to train on site, learning the 5-star skills maintained by the Rumba Housekeeping team first hand. This training has proved invaluable for building our job seekers’ confidence and workplace skills. And the results speak for themselves!
Since Rumba training commenced late March, three of our job seekers have gained successful employment, while another is now ready to start her new career in housekeeping. “It’s such a pleasure to offer training in such a friendly supportive environment,” says Kellie, a Employment Consultant with STEPS “I often see some of the ladies I’ve trained and when I think back to their first training day, it’s amazing to see what a difference it’s made.”
“We all know the importance of a person’s confidence and sense of belonging when they feel that they are contributing in the community and the team at Rumba are making that happen,” she adds.
Thank you, Rumba Resort, for giving our job seekers a head start!
