As a result of phase one, clients successfully transition into phase two, the Integrated Employment Service. Phase two provides alumni support and coaching to ensure clients are equipped and motivated to strengthen their attachment to the labour market.
The Program Manager is an essential part of the team, responsible for overseeing operations and service delivery, ensuring that each site of The Career Foundation delivering the ReSet program meets or exceeds its targets.
