Marie's Story
“I was involved with Labour Y who were helping me to find employment as I was not having much success. I also had some housing problems so finding work was extremely important so I could move out of the refuge and be more independent. Labour Y helped me explore my interests and then supported me to apply for and get an interview at the Shangri-La which was so exciting. Labour Y helped me prepare my application, get interview clothing and make it through 4 interview. The best part was I got offered a job in the restaurant at the Shangri-la. I have now moved into transitional housing, paid off my debts and I have the opportunity to move to other roles within the hotel. I will always put in my best efforts because I feel very lucky to have this job and I’m grateful for Project Youth and all their help.”
