WORKSHOP
Big Day In - A Day in the Life of a jobactive consultant
a workshop with Damien Opolski
Brisbane | Wednesday 14 March 2018 | Starts 9.30am AEDT
DETAILS
DATE: Wednesday 14 March 2018
TIME: 9am for a 9:30am commencement
LOCATION: Central Brisbane location TBA
Target Group
jobactive consultants of all levels of experience!
Summary
The skills and knowledge of the 20,000 employment consultants who deliver services each day is paramount to the success of our employment services sector. Employment consultant turnover is high. There are many reasons why a person may leave the sector early, but feeling that you lack the skills, knowledge and confidence to perform a complex and challenging role is a major factor for many people. Damien helps consultants to better understand the context of today’s employment services, and to develop practical skills and knowledge that will help sustain them through their employment services sector careers.
This highly interactive and thought-provoking day sees participants explore a range of challenging real-life scenarios as we assist ‘Richie’, our job seeker, to find suitable employment. Damien tests participants’ knowledge of jobactive operational policy and the legislative framework that we operate in, while helping to build the skills and confidence required to work successfully with some of Australia’s most disadvantaged people.
At the conclusion of the workshop participants will receive:
- A comprehensive Professional Training workbook
- A Certificate of Attendance for their portfolio
- Confidence to utilise the knowledge and skills in the workplace
about Damien Opolski
A career spanning more than 30 years gives Damien Opolski a rare insight into Australian employment services. Damien spent 12 years as manager of the Department of Employment’s Learning Centre – a role which saw him closely involved with policy and IT development, and with responsibility for developing and delivering policy, systems and capability-building training for providers. This, coupled with Damien’s frontline experience (during a CES career in metropolitan and regional South Australia, he estimates he conducted 10,000 job seeker interviews and worked with hundreds of employers), allows him to offer this unique training experience.
