Changing careers later in life can feel overwhelming. After years away from job searching, the process can seem confusing and stressful. For Toni, this was exactly how it felt. She was unsure where to start and found dealing with services and applications difficult.
I didn’t know how to begin or what steps to take,” Toni said.
But she still wanted change. She wanted a role that suited her skills and gave her a sense of purpose. That is when Toni reached out to CoAct Connect + Community Solutions.

The right support at the right time
Everything started to shift when Toni met Charissa from Community Solutions. From the first meeting, Charissa took the time to listen and understand what Toni wanted.
Together, they mapped out a clear plan. Step by step, Charissa provided guidance, support and encouragement. She went beyond what Toni had anticipated, making sure she felt confident and prepared throughout the process.
Charissa went out of her way to go over and above what I expected,” Toni said.
With this personalised support, Toni started to believe in herself again and feel ready to move forward.
Finding the perfect fit
With a clear plan and growing confidence, Toni successfully secured a new role. It was a job that matched her skills, experience and goals.
Now I have found a job that is perfect for me in every way,” Toni said.
This new role has given her a fresh start and a sense of direction for the future.
Toni’s story shows that it is never too late to change paths. With the right support and guidance, new opportunities can open up, and people can find work that truly suits them.
