Mo Alizadeh is a refugee, Logan-based entrepreneur and all-round legend. We were lucky to have him join us as a CoAct Youth Ambassador at our recent Youth Forum. We sat down with Mo for a chat about his pathway into work and study, and what he wishes more workplaces understood about young people starting out. One thing came through loud and clear: it’s not always your skills that make work hard – it’s whether you feel like you belong. If you’re starting a young person navigating those early work years, Mo’s advice is real and practical: • Don’t be afraid to ask questions – you’re not meant to just know how everything works • Find people who back you – one good manager/teammate can change everything • Try things, test things, learn – progress over perfection Read the interview here: https://coact.org.au/mo-coact-youth-ambassador-ase/ Video description: A short video of Mo from our interview with him. He is giving advice to young people about their employment journey. The video is in the centre and features yellow CoAct swirls and a purple spinning asterisk around it.

“Don’t ignore what you’re passionate about.” We recently chatted with Jasmine Watson at CoAct’s first-ever Youth Forum, where she joined us as a CoAct Youth Ambassador. She shared her own experience, and advice about backing yourself, finding your people, and turning passion into a pathway. “Your experience counts, even if it didn’t come from a “real job” yet. Hobbies, projects, volunteering, creating content, helping out in your community… it all builds skills.” Read the full interview: https://coact.org.au/meet-jasmine-ase/ Video description: A short video of Jasmine from our interview with her.

We’re proud to share more feedback from our youth job seekers, this time from Shae-Hana, reflecting on her experience with CoAct Connect + Youth Projects Warribee. “Youth Projects has been nothing but supportive. Stepping into their space feels welcoming and doesn’t make me feel like I’m just a number, but a person they genuinely want to help.” — Shae-Hana At CoAct, we value working with partners like Youth Projects who create inclusive, supportive environments for young people. Through programs like Transition to Work, they help build confidence, challenge stereotypes, and connect young people with meaningful pathways into work and education.

Trying to figure out what’s next after school? Or feeling a bit stuck as a young person navigating work? We were lucky to have Tionne Young, Co-Founder and General Manager of The ASE Group, join us at CoAct’s recent Youth Forum. We sat down with her for a quick chat about her own journey after leaving school, how ASE was born, and her advice for both young people and employers. If you’re not sure what path is for you, this is a good reminder: you don’t need to have it all worked out. Start small. Try things. Learn by doing. Read the interview via the link in our bio.

“One of the biggest things that I could say in the sense of strength and wisdom passed down to me would be that I’ve always been told to break the cycle. My mum’s always told me that my experiences are going to make me who I am and that’s what’s going to make me strong. And yes, I didn’t have a very good upbringing, and I went through my own personal barriers and circumstances. But that’s what made me strong, and my mum telling me to break the cycle, so it didn’t recur. Breaking those cycles is what builds strong foundations for our future generations. Then those foundations get passed down, making each generation stronger.” Head to the blog to read more on our special NAIDOC Week interview with Eboni-Mae Toon from CoAct/Five Bridges: https://coact.org.au/naidoc-week-2025/ Video description: Eboni-Mae pictured standing in front of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags, with captioned audio of what wisdom from her Elders she leans on in all areas of her life.

Empowering the next generation: A very special interview for NAIDOC Week 2025

For Eboni-Mae Toon, this year’s National NAIDOC Week theme – The next generation: Strength, vision & legacy – resonates strongly. To her, it’s all about gaining strength from the personal struggles that she’s overcome, using that strength to create a vision, and using that vision to create a new legacy. “We gain strength from the struggles we overcome and hopefully we can all use that strength to try and better ourselves and better the community for the future. If we can take our struggles and turn them into strength without forgetting who we are and what we know, that’s powerful. We get so much value and knowledge from listening to our Elders, we need to take what they say and go forward with that knowledge and turn it into a new legacy for a new generation. Creating something new by blending traditional knowledge with modern life and building something better. That’s powerful, and that’s how we can break those generational cycles without forgetting who we are. We need to keep moving forward for the next generation because there’s still so much work to be done.” Head to the blog to read our full interview with proud Bidjara woman and CoAct/Five Bridges Recruitment Partner and In-Work Mentor, Eboni-Mae Toon: https://coact.org.au/naidoc-week-2025/ We’d love to know, what does this year’s NAIDOC Week theme mean to you?

“Get strength from your story, use that to create a vision, use that vision to create a legacy.” - Eboni-Mae Toon This week (6-13 July 2025) we’re celebrating National NAIDOC Week. NAIDOC Week is always a special week, but this year, even more so because 2025 marks NAIDOC’s 50-year anniversary. That’s 5 decades of honouring and celebrating First Nations voices, culture, resilience and strength. This year’s NAIDOC Week theme is “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision and Legacy”. The theme focuses on the path ahead – a path that will be strengthened by young people, the vision of Indigenous communities, and the legacy of Indigenous ancestors. To celebrate NAIDOC this year, we’re sitting down with proud Bidjara woman and emerging First Nations leader, Eboni-Mae Toon. Eboni-Mae is a Recruitment Partner and In-Work Mentor with CoAct service partner Five Bridges, who deliver an Indigenous specialist program for Workforce Australia. In this interview, we explore how this year’s NAIDOC theme “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision and Legacy” resonates through Eboni-Mae’s lived experience, aspirations and leadership.

Today is World Youth Skills Day. Since 2014, July 15 has been marked by the United Nations General Assembly as World Youth Skills Day - a day to celebrate the importance of equipping young people with the training and skills for meaningful employment. Did you know that young people are almost three times more likely to be unemployed than adults? That’s why it’s so important to ensure that every young person - regardless of background - has the opportunity to build their skills and access resources so that they can build the foundations for a bright future. At CoAct we are in a unique position to see first hand the challenges facing young people as they navigate the world of employment. We are all too aware of the barriers that today’s youth face and we are committed to ensuring that young people across Australia have equal access to quality training, vocational and technical coaching, and targeting mentoring to ensure that they find the right path to quality and long term employment. Happy World Youth Skills Day, everyone. #WorldYouthSkillsDay

May 30 is World MS Day. A day that brings the global multiple sclerosis (MS) community together to share stories, raise awareness and campaign for and alongside those affected by MS. The theme this year is connections, in the context of building community connections, self-connection, and connections to quality care. So today we’re sharing our work with three separate MS organisations to deliver employment services to people living with MS. By connecting with them we work towards fulfilling our ongoing mission of connecting our customers with support that makes a real difference, and employment opportunities that have the potential to change their lives. In partnership with MS Plus we are the CoAct MS Employment Support Service - the only MS specialist employment service for people living with multiple sclerosis and acquired neurological conditions in Australia. Our MS Employment Support consultants understand multiple sclerosis, and this specialist advice is what makes our service so unique. Together we help people succeed at work, whether that is staying in a current job or finding new employment. In partnership with MS Queensland we provide individualised employment support and assistance. This is the only provider of specialist employment services for people living with MS and acquired neurological conditions in Queensland and it is specifically designed to address the needs of people living with MS who are having difficulty managing symptoms in the workplace or seeking new employment. In partnership with MSWA we deliver specialist employment support for people living with MS and other acquired neurological conditions in Western Australia. Supports provided include finding strategies to better manage symptoms, utilising technology and equipment for better workplace experiences, employer education and ongoing support even after the recruitment process. We are proud to have worked with people in careers ranging from childcare, executive directors,

Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day (also known as GAAD), a global event that promotes digital access and inclusion for people with disability. We love that its mission is to disrupt the culture of technology and digital product development to include accessibility as a core requirement because we too believe that every user deserves a first-rate digital experience on the web. At CoAct we’re working towards every person with disability being able to experience web-based services, content and other digital products with the same successful outcome as those without disabilities. As part of our commitment to inclusion we’ve installed the Recite Me assistive technology toolbar to our website, making it digitally inclusive as you can now customise how you view it and get the information you need in whichever way works best for you.
