“Very engaging. Real life stories, real case studies.”

“All the content was relevant to the students as they are heading into work and it was informative for them to know their rights as they make that transition.”

“The session was facilitated in a friendly and casual manner, which allowed engagement from the young people who participated.”

“Thanks again for speaking to our class this morning and for putting up with the technical difficulties! Your presentation was really valuable and gave us a lot to talk about. It is so important for our students to hear real stories from young workers who can talk from experience. You did a great job explaining the issues in a clear and relatable way – thank you.” 

“Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to talk to us VCAL students about the workplace. I greatly appreciated the knowledge and advice we received from you yesterday. I learnt a lot about workplace bullying and harassment as well as learning about what your payslip should look like and what's wrong and right when it comes down to how you should be paid. Once again I would like to thank you for the time and knowledge you left with me yesterday.”
