To date, The Salvation Army Employment Plus has placed around 500,000 people in work. How have we achieved this? We adopt a ‘career development’ approach to job placement. This approach is based on the premise that people will be more successful in finding long-term, sustainable employment if they are armed with the strategies, tools and resources they need to achieve self-sufficiency.

The Right Track

Right Track is a comprehensive eight-week program that includes a series of ten workshops designed to give candidates a clearer idea of their own strengths, skills and ambitions. It assists participants in determining their employment goals, identifying and overcoming barriers to employment, and developing their own personal career path. By developing a better knowledge of themselves and the workplace, candidates gain confidence and are on the path to reaching their full potential.

The program has different components that suit the varying needs of candidates.

Fast Track

This a condensed version of Right Track that includes one or two day seminars addressing specific topics, such as ‘Marketing Yourself on Paper’, ‘Background to the Retail Trade’ and so on.

Additional assistance

Candidates can be individually assessed for additional assistance such as:

Provision of vocational skills training to address skill deficiencies
Confidence building workshops
Advice and assistance with job search techniques and resume preparation

Assisted Job Search - Working together in Job Search Groups

One thing we’ve found after working with thousands of candidates is that people learn more when they share ideas.  So in the Blue Track, we conduct Job Search groups where our consultants will guide you through the processes if finding the right job.  You’ll be encouraged and benefit from lively group discussion and interaction.  Working together like this can really boost your confidence and improve your chances of getting the right job.
