Meet Cathy, a resilient single mum who faced the daunting challenge of finding a pathway back to work after having children. Like many parents, Cathy juggled countless responsibilities and often felt overwhelmed by the prospect of re-entering the workforce. However, her story is one of determination, transformation, and triumph...

Struggle Street...

After the birth of her children, Cathy found herself in a tough spot. The job market seemed unforgiving, and she was unsure how to leverage her existing skills into a stable career. “I felt lost,” Cathy admits. “Every day was a battle between managing my home and trying to figure out how to provide for my family.”

Discovering a way forward...

Everything changed when a friend recommended Cathy take a look at the PM Activate Program (Property Management Beginner Course). Intrigued by the potential of a career in property management, she decided to take a leap of faith. “I was nervous but excited,” she recalls. “The idea of learning new skills at my own pace and having a clear pathway to a rewarding career was a game-changer and felt like the elusive break that she so desperately needed.”

The program was designed to be flexible and engaging, which was perfect for Cathy. She immersed herself in online training modules, guided by Penny, the AI assistant. The program’s unique storytelling approach, following the journey of Sarah, an unemployed barista turned successful property manager, resonated deeply with Cathy. “It felt like I was part of Sarah’s story,” Cathy says. “Her struggles and triumphs mirrored my own, and it kept me motivated.”

The Transformation

Through dedication and hard work, Cathy not only completed the program but also secured an Entry-level position with a renowned property management agency. Her practical skills, honed through the PM Activate modules, made her an invaluable asset to her team. “The support and resources from PM Activate were phenomenal,” Cathy states. “They didn’t just teach me skills; they built my confidence. And just about every scenario Sarah faced in the guided story within the course, I actually faced when starting my role, it was uncanny".

The Success

Today, Cathy is thriving in her new career. She has moved up the ranks and is now earning a fantastic wage (over $80k), allowing her to provide a better life for her family. “My kids are so proud of me,” Cathy beams. “They’ve seen my hard work and determination, and now they see the rewards. It’s the best feeling in the world. In just 12 months we've gone from Struggle Street to upgrading my car to a brand new Honda CRV and putting the kids in private tennis lessons!"

Inspiring Others

Cathy’s journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and the right support system. Her story inspires many other single parents looking for a way back into the workforce. “If I can do it, so can you,” Cathy encourages. “Don’t let fear hold you back. The PM Activate program can be the key to your success.”
