This is the impact that keeps us going💫

Rayma’s story reflects why this work matters so much. Supporting people to move forward with confidence and build brighter futures is what drives us every day.
IntoJobs in Queensland is delivered by MRAEL.

When Rayma came to our office in Rockhampton, she was ready for a fresh start and a more stable future for herself and her son.

With support from her Mobile Employment Consultant, Brodie, Rayma found steady work in a hospital coffee shop – and it’s been a turning point. 💫

A new routine, supportive workplace and renewed confidence have helped her see what she’s capable of, both at work and in life.

🗨️ “I’ve never had this much confidence or self‑worth. This job has helped me see things differently.”

Rayma is now building on her strengths, looking ahead to barista training, and creating the foundations for the future she wants. 🚀

Her resilience shines through every step – and we’re glad to support her along the way. 🙌

🌟 From Struggling at School to Thriving in a Trade 🌟

What if leaving school didn’t mean the end of your opportunities? For Lincoln, it was the beginning of something bigger. He left in Year 10, lacking direction, feeling unmotivated and disengaged. However, everything changed when he joined the Get Set for Work program. The supportive environment and respectful staff at MRAEL helped Lincoln gain accredited certificates, hands-on skills, and confidence. He completed a Certificate II in Health Support Services and credits the program with improving his communication skills.

MRAEL Shaping Futures Get Set for Work is a free 10-week Skilling Queenslanders for Work program that provides nationally recognised training, integrated learning support, and core skills to young people aged 15-19, enabling them to transition successfully into employment or further education and training.

In just 10 weeks, Lincoln turned uncertainty into opportunity – building real-world skills, earning qualifications, and finding the confidence to chase his goals. Today, he’s in a full-time apprenticeship at M1 Cycles, working towards a Certificate III in Bicycle Workshop Operations and even scored a $5000 TAFE scholarship!

Lincoln says:

“The MRAEL team treat you like an actual adult compared to school where you have to follow every single rule or get yelled at.”

He highly recommends the program to other young adults who are not thriving in a school environment. “It helped me with my confidence in multiple different ways. When you first start there, you don’t know anyone, so you kind of just have to be open with yourself,” he said.

When Ashley walked into IntoJobs Rockhampton (delivered by MRAEL and part of the IntoWork Australia), he was at a crossroads. After the end of a 20-year relationship, life felt overwhelming. He was unemployed, unlicensed, and unsure where to begin. What Ashley did have was determination, and that is where we came in.

With the guidance of Mobile Employment Consultant Amanda Simpson, Ashley started rebuilding his life step by step. Amanda helped him get his car roadworthy, refresh his resume, and enrol in training programs. Over the next year, Ashley gained new skills, earned multiple qualifications, and secured stable employment.

Today, Ashley is thriving in his role as a night-shift labourer and considering a future in community services. His journey is a powerful reminder that with the right support and a willingness to keep moving forward, anything is possible.

Together, we create opportunities that change lives, empowering individuals to take control of their future and achieve goals they once thought were out of reach.
