Job Success for Fit4Work Participants 

Congratulations to our Fit4Work participants who have just started a new role at the Kmart Distribution Centre in Warehousing and Logistics! 

7 participants from our Metro and Peel Fit4Work sessions commenced their inductions earlier this month. For some of the participants this is their first job, so they are excited to get started!

Waalitj Foundation Employment Mentor, Sandy, General Manager of Community Development, Troy Cook, Manger of Education, Dale Kickett, and Assistant Manager at MatchWorks Kwinana, Rebecca Carson-Holmes, visited the group to congratulate them on their achievement. Sandy said she is so proud of the group and can’t wait to see them thrive working at the distribution centre. 

“It has been really rewarding to see my participants grow and achieve their goals. I feel extremely proud to be an employment mentor and extremely proud to be a part of our participants gaining employment. I look forward to continuing to support them in their new roles and see them achieve success!” 

Our Plan 2day 4 2morrow (P242) program creates greater opportunities for First Nations jobseekers. Our dedicated employment mentors are connectors and advocators, breaking down barriers for employment.  

With over 300 jobseekers attending in the last year, our Fit4Work sessions are a part of the Foundation’s P242 program which is delivered across multiple locations thanks to our partnerships with the Alcoa Foundation and Shell.   

Our employment mentors assist participants with building the confidence and capabilities needed to secure meaningful and sustainable employment. Whether this is running mock interviews, creating resumes, or helping with transport, the Waalitj team provide a culturally safe and supportive environment. 

Plan 2day 4 2morrow (P242) is a pre-employment program assisting Indigenous job seekers including weekly pre-employment group sessions (Fit 4 Work) with individual mentoring support. P242 focuses on improving employability of Indigenous job seekers through the development of foundation skills and work readiness. We are proud to be delivering this program in multiple locations across Perth and Peel regions of Western Australia in partnership with the Alcoa Foundation and Shell. Find out more.
