Petra Stride and Michael Wilson from our Employment Solutions site in St George, Queensland, have been awarded Mission Australia’s first annual Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) Award for their commitment to local job seekers.
The Mission Australia Reconciliation Action Plan was developed to improve employment opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Mission Australia Employment Solutions is a key driver of the plan, helping job seekers source quality jobs that match their capabilities and long-term goals through employment assistance and training.
Petra and Michael have endured three floods in 12 months – but always put their clients above themselves.
Mission Australia Employment Solutions St George Office Business Manager Harry Liaubon said the award was well-deserved.
“We’re extremely proud of Petra and Michael,” he said. “They constantly go above and beyond to give their clients the best quality of service and achieve the best outcomes.”
“They share a caseload of over 100 clients – and two-thirds are of Aboriginal heritage. The trust and relationships that Petra and Michael have built with the local people are an essential part of providing employment opportunities in the community.
“Thanks to Petra and Michael, Mission Australia Employment Solutions is the employer service provider of choice for Aboriginal people in the community,” he added.
This is not the first time the pair has been recognised. Last year, the Mission Australia Employment Solutions St George office was awarded the St George NAIDOC Business of the Year Award by the local Aboriginal community.
