Graduation Reel

Promoting a culture of ongoing success.

Celebration – we find, not only boosts morale but also fosters a positive environment, motivating people to continue their efforts.

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

In this, our last in a series of 3 videos featuring our 2023 hospitality students, we take a brief look at how they reached their graduation day and how we thoroughly enjoyed sharing their success with them.

Go Team!

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!

After working through Forming and Storming (the first two stages of group dynamics originally recognized and identified in Tuckman’s theory), it’s been inspiring to see real evidence of growth as the group moves through the Norming stage and begins to excel in the Performing stage.
 
No doubt that some of the people they meet in their everyday work at The Wounded Heroes, and the issues they face, help accelerate their growth and appreciation of the chance this program offers them. The reality of life for others they meet can be sobering and, at times, confronting.

"Now - I Have A Weekend"

The Wounded Heroes Skilling Queenslanders For Work

 

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.
