APM helps people work

DALBY: People with disabilities in Dalby now have a new avenue to work thanks to a scheme by Advanced Personal Management.

APM is a human-services organisation that specialises in helping people return to the workforce, no matter what their circumstances.

The company has ramped up its focus on the Dalby region, working with local businesses in the hope of finding 16 jobs for people with different abilities.

APM CEO Andrew Donnelly said the work his company undertook played a crucial role in the community.

“Often, people with a disability struggle to find work, even though they are often excellent employees,” Mr Donnelly said.

“Their inability to find jobs means they are often socially and economically isolated.”

Chris Walker is the manager of Woolworths Dalby and has taken on two employees through the scheme.

When he found out about APM and the work they do, Mr Walker was happy to bring in some fresh workers.
