CERT III IN INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT GRADUATION DAY

Enthusiastic students attended the Cert III in Individual Support graduation celebration, where the joy and pride of the graduates were tangible. They were excited about the celebration organized in their honor, and a few family members joined to support and praise them. MCCGC staff from various programs were also present.

The event was graced by MCCGC CEO Shane Klintworth and QLD Officer Gary Bryant, affectionately called "Mister Government" by of one of the graduates, during her heartfelt speech thanking the Training Hub Team and sharing her feedback on the course.

Each graduate wore gowns and mortarboard caps, proudly receiving their Cert III in Individual Support certificate along with a lovely white rose. A delicious breakfast was also provided for the graduates and their guests to enjoy in the morning.

Why should you never ask, "what's the culture like?" in job interviews

I never ask, “What’s the culture like?” in job interviews.

They only give generic, unhelpful answers each time.

And as my friend Reno Perry often points out:
Culture matters. A lot.

It can turn your job into a source of joy... or misery.
It can set you on a path to career growth... or burnout.

So, I ask these questions instead:

1. What do new employees typically find surprising
after they start?

2. Can you share a story of how you supported an
employee's professional growth?

3. How does the company handle feedback
from employees?

4. What does your onboarding process look like?

5. What's the most common reason employees say
they enjoy working here?

6. How does the company support the mental health
and well-being of its employees?

7. Can you give an example of how the company has
adapted to employee needs or suggestions?

8. How are successes and milestones celebrated here?

9. What actions does the company take to support
its employees' continuous learning and development?

10. How has the company changed since you joined?
