Isla’s enthusiasm builds a fan base at local builders

Isla Cue did her work experience at construction company TVN On-Country last year and enjoyed it so much she returned to take on a full-time business admin role where she’s delighting everyone with her enthusiasm. 

TVN’s People and Corporate Operations Manager, Sarah Gould, says: “Her bubbly personality and impromptu singing always brings a smile to our faces!” 

 “She is always willing to learn new tasks and take on feedback. Her ability to be adaptable to the office and on-site environments has been wonderful to see,” Sarah added.  

Isla said:

“After doing work experience at TVN I was offered a traineeship. I was so excited to accept it because I loved the people and the environment.”

“I’ve created some great personal and career goals during my mentoring sessions with OCP and I’m excited to achieve them.” 

On-Country Pathways Program Coordinator, Simone Fox, said: “Isla is on our free Job Placement Support Program and I am checking in with her regularly during the first 12 months of her new job.” 

 “She’s also undertaking a Cert III in Business Administration, giving her some deadly base skills for wherever life may take her. And she’s already on her green Ps having completed our Driver-Mentor Program a while back.” 

Future plans

 Isla explained: “Eventually, I want to study nursing and become a midwife which I have wanted to do since I was little so it would be a big achievement for me to do that.” 

 If you can manage life at a busy building business, you can manage anything Isla! The determined young woman is also saving for a house of her own. She’ll know plenty of trades if she needs to build one…
