In this episode, we delve into the inspiring journey of Project Placed, an Australian charity. They offer free career coaching and mental health support for job seekers, where some people are finding themselves out of employment for a longer period of time than expected or looking to re-enter the workforce in a time of economic downturn.

Ant Cohen, CEO and founder of Project Placed, joins the podcast to talk about the unique service they provide. Ant shares his personal experience of redundancy as the catalyst to set up the charity several years ago, and sheds light on how Project Placed aids job seekers in resume and job search strategies, and the importance of providing their clients mindset support and building a sense of community to regain self-confidence and align their careers with personal values.

Whether you’re someone looking for work or interested in support-driven social enterprises, this episode provides invaluable insights into an inspiring organisation that is making a difference.
