Open Employment Success for Jack

Jack started his journey in open employment at The Boxman in November last year.

Working in his permanent role as a Storeperson/General Hand, in the beginning, Jack’s role included strapping bundles of cartons, stocking the showroom, and supporting the factory tea. As he progressed, Jack now runs one of the Boxman CNC machines, making products that the Boxman sells.

Until recently Jack was supported by an Employment Mentor. However, now Jack is self-sufficient at work and as of this week Jack will be working fully independently.

Jack has made a great contribution at The Boxman and has fitted in well and is a significant member of the team.

Dylan, Operations Manager at The Boxman said “Jack is an important member of our team, he has a wonderful attitude towards his work. He is enthusiastic, and plays a fundamental role within our business. We look forward to continuing to work with Jack to help him develop new skills and expand opportunities for him as we move forward” he said.

Congratulations to Jack on this great achievement and milestone. A big thank you to

Sue for outstanding mentor work, and to Troy, Dylan and the team at The Boxman, for their continuing support and contribution to Jack’s employment goals.
