Success Stories
Seedling – Patrick
23-year old Patrick shares his story of finding employment with Workbridge.
When Patrick developed his condition, it required him to leave his current job to find something that would support him both physically and mentally and help with his development and recovery. Finding the right job (and not the first thing that was offered) was crucial.
Having to explain his condition to employers over and over and feeling almost unheard, Patrick turned to Workbridge for help. He was connected with Employment Consultant, David, and together they created a profile to gain a better understanding of the types of jobs Patrick was interested in and the skills and attributes he would be able to bring to his new workplace.
It wasn’t long after, that Patrick was referred and successfully chosen for an Analyst position at Seedling, a small consultancy business which provides operational and financial support to social enterprises and impact businesses.
Patrick has been with Seedling since September 2020 and is the first employee to be hired by Seedling.
Being able to work from home has allowed Patrick to manage his condition. Patrick is fully supported, feels he can be open and honest with his employer and couldn’t imagine being anywhere else.
