Working this out together: Supporting the workplace to support the employee
Jack Kruger, Julia Shumaker, James Jeffress, Rachael Cumming
In this presentation, Jack Kruger shared his various work roles since he was 14. He describes his current position at Unilodge, where he works at the reception of a residential college at ANU. He also describes his volunteering role at Lifeline.
Julia Shumaker, Jack’s Job Support, explains how she applied Customised Employment principles to create a volunteering role for him at Lifeline. She describes how her support role at Lifeline has now completely faded. Her experience with Lifeline gave her the confidence to apply the same principles to develop and support Jack in his current paid work role at Unilodge.
