The Green Collar Australia
Partnership With WISE Employment 2022-2024
The Green Collar works with Job Services providers to assist their clients to find peer support and life purpose through employment, but also directly with employers, such as Transcend Group.
You will be assisted in setting up your smart phone, tablet, or PC with relevant online credentials and booked in for an initial face to face introductory curriculum session.
An online toolkit is sent, along with instructions and program overview. From assistance with resumes, to workshops specifically designed to get you work WISE UP is a full wrap around service.
We ran a 28 day program called WISE UP, which consists of a combination of onsite (WISE office locations), smartphone/tablet app, medical and legal referral provision, one-on-one coaching and referalls via our recruitment agency and employment networks. And a range of physical activities like Boxercise and online rehab.
The WISE UP programinvolved participation in group discussion and personalised coaching to your specific needs and related issues. Don't worry, if you're not tech savvy we help set you up and show you how to use these tools. These online Zoom sessions run most evenings at 6pm and are central to providing a sense of community and identification.
Participants received their own Program Coach to help with overcoming the stigma and self confidence issues experienved often with legal issues. Our team are all experienced and provide expert and personalised assistance. If ongoing legal issues are still relevant we will assist in your navigation with practical guidance and assistance.
The Green Collar offers participants with a range of volunteering options to take part in at the end of the program. This accomplishes a few things. It might open the door to ongoin work. It gets participants used to being in a work environment and it looks good for other potential employers demonstrating you have been doing something while looking for work.
The Green Collar and Green Collar Brigade is recognised by many of the Victorian courts. We recognise that often people need assistance with legal and medical, specifically Legal aid and psychological assistance, in order to be prepared to get employed. We have a pragmatic approach and can refer you to practitioners who will help you with any related issues going on in your life.

"I am really glad I did the program. It was good to do at least something for the program everyday, it really got you into the habit of checking in the morning what was on for that day. I'm also really looking forward to seeing what happens in the future after my work experience/volunteering opportunity."
From the very first time I talked to Stu on the phone I was inspired to do the program . Throughout the program listening to David and Stu have kept me motivated and also given me great advice. To listen and get hints from individuals that have had a similar background and that are so committed to helping others and such belief in the program to have developed it in the first place absolutely amazing . They have made me feel excited and more importantly welcomed and comfortable at all times throughout the program. If I could inspire someone as much as they have for me would be a great achievement and something to work towards.
