Employees find the work at CVGT meaningful, particularly in helping participants become job ready and witnessing the positive impact on their lives. Career development opportunities are available, with staff able to grow into leadership roles. The supportive team environment is highly valued, with colleagues described as family-like and regular team building activities. Training and resources are readily available, including resume writers and marketing support. Under new senior leadership, the company has evolved into a stronger, more focussed business.
However, there are some potential challenges, such as recruitment difficulties in regional areas due to not-for-profit remuneration structures, though PBI tax benefits are available. The role can extend beyond employment services, with staff sometimes supporting participants with matters outside their core responsibilities. Government policy and compliance requirements change regularly, adding complexity to already demanding caseloads. The employment services industry can be challenging at times, particularly when participants make progress but face barriers to employment opportunities.
