At Outcare, we believe that every young person deserves a network that champions their potential and sets them up for a successful future. Jane’s story is a powerful example of what happens when resilience meets genuine care and opportunity.
Jane first connected with Outcare many years ago. Her journey hasn’t been easy — she faced complex challenges that could have easily derailed her dreams, but Jane’s unwavering determination and positive mindset kept her moving forward. She held onto one clear goal: to become an IT professional. Driven by curiosity and ambition, Jane taught herself everything she could about computers — how they work, how to fix them, and how technology shapes the world.
When Kristoffer and the IT team at PeopleKind’s Burswood office, offered Jane an internship, it was a turning point. For someone who had long struggled to find employment, this opportunity was more than just work experience — it was validation of her hard work and perseverance. Over four weeks, Jane worked alongside seasoned IT professionals, learning industry skills and even sharing her own insights. She left with a glowing letter of recommendation, practical knowledge, and a renewed sense of confidence.
This milestone wasn’t achieved alone. Behind the scenes, Outcare’s team worked tirelessly to make this happen — securing permissions, planning logistics, and ensuring Jane had a safe and supportive environment. The PeopleKind IT team didn’t just open their doors; they invested in Jane’s growth, creating a structured learning program and mentoring her in both technical skills and workplace behaviours.
Jane’s successful internship completion is a testament to what happens when organisations truly care. At Outcare and PeopleKind, we understand that we are the network for young people like Jane. We are here to provide opportunities, guidance, and encouragement so they can build the future they deserve.
Jane’s journey reminds us why we do what we do: because every young person deserves a chance to shine.
