Jack's story

With determination, perseverance, and the support of Nexus’s Customised Employment team, Jack developed a wide range of skills, gained confidence and secured a full-time role with a thriving local building maintenance business. 

During his time in our Customised Employment Program, Jack gained hands-on experience across multiple areas, including orcharding, gardening, cleaning, general maintenance, and at our social enterprise, SEED’s Recycle Rewards Depot. 

With Nexus support, Jack gained both his car and forklift licenses – earning him the nickname “Jack of all trades!”  

With Jack’s growing skillset and confidence, our Employment Facilitator James saw the perfect opportunity to recommend Jack to the thriving building maintenance business, who were delighted to bring him on board! 

Jack credits the training and support from Nexus for building his confidence to take this step.  

“It was a great opportunity at Nexus. There are very nice people working there, and being there definitely opened new opportunities for me,” Jack said. 

With a new full-time job, Jack has set his sights on some big personal goals – buying a house and, eventually, his dream car!
