SBS Documentary
In 2010 Craig was asked to participate in a Documentary for SBS Television helping 10 highly vulnerable people return to work.
The concept was to show how Craig's training can assist and change the mindset of people who are unemployed and take them on the journey of not wanting to work too wanting to return to work.
The Documentary"The Unemployables" demonstrates Craig's workshops and industry techniques and skills that are used to create pathways to return to work.
The Employment Service Providers have been utilising the Documentary to help their clients return to work with great success.
Clients tell providers that they are inspired by the documentary and realise that they are not alone.
That this gives them hope in their personal challenges and for every problem they face, someone, somewhere is facing greater hurdles.
