Carl, who works at our Maroochydore social enterprise, has recently transitioned to a position in Mainstream Employment. After working with us in a supported employment role for almost 10 years, Carl said that the move has been a long time coming,
I love what I do, and I think promotion felt like a natural progression – one I truly deserved, everyone has been really supportive. When I got the promotion, my co-workers were as excited for me as I was.
Carl has grown professionally and personally over the time he has worked for us. He has mastered skills in logistics and warehouse management, while building confidence in and out of the workplace.
At work, he has taken on more responsibilities such as handling paperwork and computer-based tasks, but he’s super keep to be training others in forklift operations.
Production Manager, Andrew Dunn, has witnessed Carl’s growth as he has worked with Carl for the past decade and knows that he will excel in his new role.
It has been a pleasure to witness the growth of Carl over the years. He is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. He is dependable, trustworthy and always coming up with ways we can improve.
Carl’s dedication to work also spills over to his personal life where he enjoys producing dark fantasy illustrations and occasionally takes on commissions from bands for shirts, album covers and logos. He is a lover of thrash metal, and would love to blast out some tunes in the warehouse but understands that it’s a bit of an acquired taste, he laughed,
A lot of the guys here like their AC/DC and Cold Chisel, so we will probably stick to that.
