Former gaming attendant, Kim Colgrave, was overcome with emotion as she spoke of a career change to the disability sector and what it had meant. Ms Colgrave and seven other jobseekers participated in Devonfield Enterprise’s ‘Get Set for Work’ in the disability industry training program, which aimed to inspire people to look at disability care as a job option. “This course has brought the best out in me, it’s somewhat of a life changing experience. I didn’t have any idea of what was involved but through undertaking it I have made the decision that I want this as a career,” Ms Colgrave said. Project manager Karin Febey, of Devon Training and Employment Services, the provider of the Department of State Growth’s Work and Training Pathway Pilot program for demand led industries, said the disability sector was undergoing major reform in relation to the provision of disability support and care.
