Trade Taste Tester Day
Welcome to our innovative approach to the job application process – the Trade Tester Day.
In a world where traditional interviews can be limited in scope and depth, our program seeks to revolutionize the experience for both job seekers and employers alike.
Gone are the days of one-on-one interactions that leave lingering uncertainties. Instead, we invite a diverse array of applicants to explore numerous potential employers in a variety of working environments.
At the heart of the Trade Tester Day is the recognition that true understanding of a job and its fit goes beyond the confines of a simple interview room. By immersing candidates in the day-to-day realities of various workplaces, we provide a unique opportunity for them to gain firsthand insight into their potential future roles.
Likewise, employers benefit from observing candidates in real-world scenarios, allowing for more informed hiring decisions.
Through this program, we aim to foster authentic connections between job seekers and employers, facilitating a more transparent and productive recruitment process.
The Trade Tester Day isn’t just about finding a job; it’s about finding the right fit for both parties, ensuring mutual success and satisfaction in the workplace.
Join us as we redefine the path to employment, one immersive experience at a time.
Driven. Determined. Enthusiastic! 🌟
Driven. Determined. Enthusiastic!
These words describe Thomas perfectly. He recently gave us a tour of his land, where he’s lived since he was 4 years old. He even showed us a rainforest he helped plant as a child. 🌳💚
With help from his Self Employment Assistance Mentor, Thomas is starting a small business focused on conservation. The Self Employment Assistance program gives him the business skills and support he needs through regular mentoring, networking, and accountability sessions.
We’re excited to see where Thomas’s journey takes him and can’t wait to check in with him again. You inspire us, Thomas! 🌿✨
The Self Employment Assistance Program is Federally Funded with entry and ongoing eligibility criteria.
Stepping Out in Style
In the Business for Heroes Program, our students do many exciting activities! But, the fashion parade at the graduation ceremony isn’t usually their favourite. 👗✨
So why include it?
It’s a personal challenge. Throughout the 20-week program, students build confidence and learn to push their boundaries. They find comfort in a space they never thought they would.
And even on one of the hottest and most humid days of 2024, it’s a lot of fun!
As we said goodbye to the 3rd group of students, we reminded them that we are still here to support them in finding employment opportunities.
We are grateful to have Trainers, Volunteers, Managers, local MPs, and other dignitaries cheer them on, both on the runway and in their job search. 💼🌟
Saddle Up!
See the transformation of our third Business For Heroes class!
Can you believe the incredible journey our students have had over the last 20 weeks? They’ve worked hard, gained new skills, and are now ready for the job market.
Check out the amazing projects they’ve completed and see how they’ve prepared to be job-ready.

It creates a sense of accomplishment, reinforcing the significance of the journey and promoting a culture of ongoing success.

Skilling Queenslanders For Work
It’s been an inspiring experience for those of us in the Prestige Team witnessing the steady growth of our students as many of them learnt how to deal with their inherent fear of large horses.
Many would never have believed that within 4 sessions they would be able to holster, lead, handle and medicate these animals.
As their Equine program came to an end, we share in this video some of the key moments and activities that show these as they happened – straight from the horse’s mouth!

"Now - I Have A Weekend"
June 2023
We asked Bailey, “What is the best thing about the Business For Heroes program” he is currently attending?
Without hesitation, he replied: “I now get to have a weekend”.
Bailey told us before the program, each day just merged into the next, there was very little happening and “every day was like a weekend day.”
The Business For Heroes program at The Wounded Heroes Centre in Ipswich is a Queensland Government initiative – Skilling Queenslanders For Work. The program gives Bailey a chance to put into practice the newfound skills he has gained through his work placement. Work placement at the centre involves:
– Meeting and interacting with customers, co-workers and volunteers.
– Working in a team environment.
– Unloading and sorting incoming donations, and Various other customer-focused tasks.
Sue is the local program coordinator. She recognises the program’s value by giving Queenslanders from all walks of life the opportunity to get into work, or back to work. At the same time, the program leads to a BSB10120 – Certificate I in Workplace Skills.
The Ipswich Centre values the helping hand the students provide. They assist with all the tasks associated with continually raising funds to support Australia’s Wounded Heroes – allowing the staff to achieve more and help more lives.
Bailey and his colleagues will complete their 20-week program very soon. In conjunction with the team at the Wounded Heroes – we welcome and invite anyone wishing to show their support for this group of people. A Graduation Ceremony will be held at the Wounded Heroes Centre in Ipswich on 14th July starting at 09:30 am.
