Fitted for work is an Australian not-for-profit that helps women experiencing disadvantage find and prepare for employment. Since their foundation in 2005, Fitted for Work has assisted more than 20,000 women by providing free personal outfitting, mentoring and skill development.
It is a special cause and one that TMS has been proud to support over the last six months through the fantastic volunteer work of Senior Consultant, Tal Levitas.
One Tuesday each month Tal visits the Fitted for Work National Office and Boutique in Melbourne, offering her professional experience and coaching expertise.
In her time there, Tal helps prepare women for interviews, providing advice on resumes, assisting with career coaching, building self-esteem and sometimes just listening. It is something she finds incredibly rewarding.
“Fitted for Work is a wonderful organisation that empowers women to take control of their lives and circumstances, and supports them to find their place back in the workplace (and society),” she says. “I love the opportunity Fitted for Work gives me to use my experience and skills to be part of the great work they do”.
“It is something close to my heart and I’m grateful that TMS provides me the flexibility to spend time working with Fitted for Work each month”.
Throughout June the team will be running a clothes drive in both the Melbourne and Brisbane offices to support the cause.
