🌟 Client Success Story: Introducing Ben Chandle

🌟 Client Success Story: Introducing Ben Chandler Audio! 🌟

We’re so proud to celebrate the incredible journey of Ben Chandler, a talented young man with a vision impairment and cerebral palsy, who has been a part of the 4gr family since March 2020. With the dedicated support of our customised employment specialists, Ben has grown tremendously, and we’re thrilled to announce the launch of his own freelancing business—Ben Chandler Audio! 🎧

Ben has always had a passion for audio engineering, and his journey began with a paid placement at Melbourne University Law Faculty as an audio engineer in 2021. This valuable experience laid the foundation for his career, and with the help of his 4gr employment mentor, he secured a casual role at the university. Although the opportunity was limited to four hours a week, it was a significant step towards his professional goals.🎯

With ongoing support, Ben’s career aspirations have flourished. Today, he's taken the leap into freelancing, specialising in mixing and editing post-production audio for both podcasts and visual content. From exploring his interests to identifying opportunities, Ben has truly come into his own—and we couldn’t be more proud.

🔊 If you’re looking for top-notch audio work, connect with Ben on LinkedIn or reach out to him at ben_chandler1@outlook.com.

We’re excited to see Ben thrive in this new chapter of his career and continue to support him every step of the way. Congratulations, Ben! 👏

🌟 Millie’s Taster Visit at Mr Blo Salon! 🌟

🌟 Millie’s Taster Visit at Mr Blo Salon! 🌟

Recently, Millie visited Mr Blo Salon for a workplace taster, where she met with Emma, a talented makeup artist. Emma shared her insights on the beauty industry, and Millie was thrilled to observe her at work while picking up valuable tips along the way!

Millie, who has completed her Cert III in Makeup, shared her dream of working at a retail cosmetics store like Mecca. She reflected on her experience practicing makeup on peers and at an Aged Care facility, where one client was so moved by her makeover that she cried with happiness. During the visit, Millie got to engage in casual conversation about different makeup products and trends, which sparked her enthusiasm.

Emma was fantastic in sharing tips with Millie, from applying eyeshadow and eyeliner to matching blush and lip colours. She even offered product recommendations and industry connections to help Millie move closer to her goals. Millie’s energy was vibrant as she observed Emma’s techniques and interacted with both Emma and her client.

Taster visits like these are so important—they allow people like Millie to gain first-hand experience and build the skills they need in a real-world setting. With the support of customised employment, Millie is well on her way to achieving her dream in the beauty industry! 💄✨
