Diverse-Ability
Hello Good People
Local businesses are struggling. Operations are hampered by people being in Isolation or wary of contracting COVID19. Staff retention levels are falling. Hiring new people is more challenging than ever. I can help you tap into a fresh pool of workers who can become effective members of your team.
As a starting point I would like to invite you to a fully catered Business Breakfast that will spotlight the advantages of inclusive employment. The breakfast is only catered for 80 people so get in quick!
The event is my ‘DIVERSE-ABILITY’ Breakfast. It is being held at the WONTHAGGI GOLF CLUB from 7AM on Friday, Feb 25th.
Friday morning is premium diary space so I have to give you great reasons to get out early and start your day with us.
You won’t just be listening to me. Beau Vernon is one of our guest speakers and he will be supported by a panel of industry experts.
I’m Josh Latham and I’m a Marketing Officer at Bass Coast Adult Learning. That’s a role that makes me get out of bed early and hit the ground running. I write newsletters, media releases, social media posts and ensure we stick to our mission – Capacity Building. I talk to a lot of people and make a lot of valuable connections as I circulate information to help people find their place.
My employers are really happy (I hope!) with me and I have my dream job which motivates me to aim higher and try harder. I’m confident. I’m a hard worker. I’m positive.

But seriously, I have faced barriers. I have a disability. Bass Coast Adult Learning helped build my resilience and my capacity in many areas. Providers such as Maxima matched my skills with employers expectations and work helps me be ready for the job. A Lot of people are job ready with no Jobs.
Here’s something I can tell you that you might not know – people with a disability can be the best worker you’ve had. You just need to work with agencies to find the right person for your business then work with them to remove any barriers to productivity. It’s easy. You need to get to know them. The more you know about that person, your worker, the easier it gets.
Join me and Beau Vernon at Seven O’clock in the morning on Friday February 25th to take the first step in Diverse-ability to find out about a fresh group of people you can tap into.
As Dylan Alcott said last week:
‘And, guess what? We’re not just ready to work, we’re ready to take your jobs, alright? We are coming. We are coming. But we’ve got to get those opportunities.
