Boban's story
Boban was going through a difficult period of unemployment and began avoiding contact with the outside world as much as possible.
This left him with low confidence, and he froze up during interviews.
In an effort to change his circumstances, Boban, 51, visited the APM Elizabeth office in Adelaide’s northern suburbs and discovered the CTA program.
With the APM team behind him, Boban was able to complete new training courses that matched his passion for food.
Watch Boban's story to see how he connected with Career Transition Assistance to support his employment goals.
