"I've learned so much from this experience. It's been incredibly rewarding and I'm grateful for the opportunity." Meet Jade, a participant in The Foundry by SYC's Career Grit program, who is now thriving in her employment at a local lunch bar. After personalised career coaching, she approached her trial shift with confidence. Despite initial setbacks due to travel concerns, Jade relocated and subsequently returned for a paid trial shift, impressing the store owners with her enthusiasm. Kathy, the lunch bar owner, shares, “Jade has really begun to grow and bloom. She is coming out of her shell and building confidence day by day. We are delighted to have her on our team!" The Career Grit program at the Foundry by SYC offers personalised mentoring to help young people build essential skills and discover their passions and strengths. We’re proud to support participants like Jade and can’t wait to see what her future holds! To read more about Jade’s story visit: https://lnkd.in/gFubQ2UC #SYC #soyoucan

Happy International Pronouns Day! Today, we celebrate the importance of respect and understanding around personal pronouns. Pronouns help us refer to one another without using names. Whilst many of us are familiar with gendered pronouns like she/her and he/him, it’s equally important to embrace gender-neutral options. Using the correct pronouns is a simple yet powerful way to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels seen and respected. It encourages us to avoid assumptions based on appearances or voices. To learn more about pronouns, explore this informative guide from Minus18 https://bit.ly/4f4wHX3 #PronounsDay #SYC #SoYouCan

Today is World Mental Health Day! This year’s theme, ‘It is Time to Prioritise Mental Health in the Workplace,’ couldn’t be more relevant. With 1 in 5 Australian workers facing mental health challenges, it’s essential to create a supportive environment for everyone. At SYC, we believe that every team member deserves a workplace that supports their mental health. Today, our teams celebrated this WMHD’S call to action with team lunches, mindfulness sessions and creative activities that highlighted the importance of supporting one another. Mental health matters every day. Today, we were reminded to prioritise our own wellbeing and extend that care to others. If you or someone you know is struggling, remember that support is available. For further details, please refer to the resources provided or reach out to your GP or a health professional. #WorldMentalHealthDay2024 #SYC #soyoucan
