How did Gannambarra help you with finding employment?

I was unemployed for a long period of time and knew getting my licence was the key to finding a job. I went to Gannambarra to use their RTA computer to get my learner licence. The staff encouraged and supported me through this process. They also helped with professional driving lessons as I was able to get my provisional licence due to my age. They helped me with the costs of all licensing which was a great help. The staff at Gannambarra was really interested in me as an individual and built my confidence to look at a career that I didn't think I had the ability to do. 

How has working changed your lifestyle?

In the past I had to rely on family and friends to go places but now I can drive my family anywhere we like and I would like to start saving to purchase our own home.
