Employees at Challenge Employment & Training appreciate the opportunity to work with youth and help participants move forward with their lives. The culture and working environment are described as supportive, unique, and positive, with a focus on innovation and change. Colleagues are valued for being friendly and passionate, and the organisation offers good work-life balance with flexibility.
However, there are some potential challenges, such as concerns about management, with issues around communication, leadership, and a lack of support or respect for staff and clients. There are also indications of disorganisation within the organisation, with outdated or incorrect learning materials, lack of audits, and challenges in dealing with student behaviour. As with any workplace, there can be periods of high workload and challenges, particularly when dealing with government contracts and policy changes.
