Welcome to another episode of Candid Conversation with Shaun Pianta.
In this episode we are joined with atWork Australia client, Bassam. Throughout the episode, he shares his life journey, shedding light into what it is like to be a part of the Iraqi military and fleeing his home country in search of a safer life.
Bassam and his family were living in the war torn city of Bagdad and he was desperate to find a safer home for his family. In the darkness of the night, Bassam and his family fled Iraq and made their way to Turkey. Eventually, Bassam and his family migrated to Australia where they could start fresh in a new environment.
Throughout Bassam's life he has suffered multiple injuries which are now impacting his ability to secure meaningful employment. With the support of atWork Australia, Bassam has now secured employment he is passionate about.
