Fitted for Work believes that every woman is entitled to economic security and we believe the best way for a women to achieve this is through employment. We know that women have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic, particularly regarding employment.
Fitted for Work has a proven, simple and elegant formula that offers a profound return on investment. We have the capacity to deliver 10,000+ services per year to women across Australia however they are currently not funded on an ongoing basis.
Our virtual services are designed and tailored to assist anyone who identifies as a woman, and those who do not wish to be limited by definition. Experiences of our clients vary greatly, they might have a disability, be a recent migrant, single parent, mature age, of refugee status, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and/or culturally and linguistically diverse. They might be exiting a domestic violence situation, experiencing homelessness or displacement, exiting from prison, and/or experiencing financial hardship. We assist individuals at every stage of their employment journey.
The project delivers tailored appointments to develop confidence and connection; job search skills and practice; skill building workshops and digital upskilling programs, mentoring and peer support, links to employment and post-employment support.
