Target Group
This workshop suits frontline staff, especially employment consultants, team leaders and executive staff ; working in the employment services sector
About
Resistant clients require a different level of investment to get them motivated and change their mindsets. This workshop takes a close look at why clients may be resistant, reluctant or suspicious. This 1-day workshop provides employment consultants and practitioners with the skills to positively engage mandated clients and develop workable relationships. It will enable practitioners to confidently deliver effective services and achieve outstanding & sustainable results.

MI facilitates and engages intrinsic motivation within the client to change behaviour. The practitioner seeks to elicit “change talk” (participant initiating discussion about the idea of changing). A client’s readiness for change may be assessed and Motivational Interviewing provided to suit the clients stage of change. This one-day workshop has been designed to build a framework to engage and motivate resistant clients.

Labour Market Inclusion for Clients with Multiple Barriers

Labour Market Inclusion for Clients with Multiple Barriers
THURS 2 SEPT 2021 | 3.30PM – 5.00PM AEST
We are pleased to announce our second Masterclass for the year as part of our on-line international innovation tour.
This Masterclass will focus on experiences of European Public Employment Services in providing high quality services to their most disadvantaged and vulnerable clients in an era of rapid digitilisation (please see below for the overview from our European colleagues) and will be facilitated by Employment Policy Consultant, Miguel Peromingo.
"This masterclass presents and discusses successful approaches and recent adjustments of PES in the European Union in how to guarantee that none of their clients is left behind."
OVERVIEW
“The Covid-19 pandemic has undoubtedly accelerated the use of digital tools in the labour market and, in many ways, empowered some job-seekers to own their career decisions more, for example by being more involved in job search or decisions on their upskilling. On the other side, growing unemployment/underemployment and persistent lack of digital skills and access has pushed those that were already far from the labour market before the crisis further into low employability and the struggle with multiple barriers such as social and economic challenges, physical and mental health conditions, and impacts of long-term unemployment including lowered self-esteem.
Employment services all over the world face tough decisions on how to service their most vulnerable clients while their service infrastructure for face-to-face contacts is being dismantled in favour of more digital access. Hybrid models are a walkable path, but only if they are paired with client-focused case management and a clear nod towards digital skills training.
This masterclass presents and discusses successful approaches and recent adjustments of PES in the European Union in how to guarantee that none of their clients is left behind.”
