Sometimes the biggest barrier isn't ability. It's believing you can do it. 💙

Andy had always wanted to earn his forklift licence, but he never thought he'd be able to pass the theory.

With the support of VERTO's Inclusive Employment Australia (IEA) program and a training provider that believed in his potential, Andy achieved a goal he once thought was out of reach.

Now, with his licence in hand and growing confidence, he's looking forward to the next chapter of his employment journey.

🤝 Great partnerships create great opportunities.

Thanks to our continued partnership with Wils Training RTO 41518, seven young people supported by VERTO's Transition to Work program in Muswellbrook recently completed a Traffic Control Combo course close to home.

By removing barriers to participation and combining classroom learning with practical, hands-on training, the course helped participants gain valuable qualifications and build confidence as they prepare for careers in labouring, civil construction and traffic control roles that are in strong demand locally.

Congratulations to everyone involved on a fantastic result.
