Employment The employment component of the program helps women explore their aspirations and build a pathway toward meaningful work. This includes reviewing education and employment history, identifying transferable skills, building resumes, and planning for a secure and financially stable future. Catherine House partners with employers to offer supported employment opportunities, including the John Holland Group’s Social Procurement Program, which led to roles with McConnell Dowell, Leed Engineering & Construction, and Prime Traffic Solutions. In another initiative, the City of Adelaide created a supported employment internship program, offering six-month paid placements to help women re-enter the workforce.
Participants in the Education and Employment Pathway Program often go on to further study, volunteering, or employment. Their lives are enriched through their personal commitment to recovery and their hopes for the future.
