Meet Fode
We first met Fode at one of our Sydney recruitment sessions in August 2023. Fode brought with him positive, happy energy and a keenness to gain employment as soon as possible.
Fode was successfully placed and has worked for our client Supamart in their Tramsheds location since October 2023. He continues to impress the management team with his customer service, enthusiasm for learning and team work.
Since starting his position, he’s now able to rent a room in a share house closer to work where he has met lifelong friends and partakes in the community. We are grateful we met Fode and were given the opportunity to help him start his life here in Australia.
All the best Fode!
