At Community Solutions, we’re excited to celebrate Charissa List, an Employment Specialist from Yeppoon, Queensland, who was recently named Employment Consultant of the Year at the 2024 National Employment Services Association (NESA) Awards for Excellence. This prestigious award highlights the incredible impact Charissa has on her community and the people she supports.
Charissa’s work focuses on helping job seekers and local businesses overcome challenges in a region where opportunities can be limited. Her success is driven by her passion for community development and her commitment to personalised support.
“I’m honoured to receive this award,” Charissa shared. “If it wasn’t for my customers allowing me to support them through their challenges, I wouldn’t be here accepting this award.”
Charissa’s results speak volumes. She’s helped place job seekers into sustainable roles at rates far exceeding regional averages, while building lasting relationships with local employers. Her customers describe her as a “ray of sunshine” whose enthusiasm and care make a real difference.
As the sole Workforce Australia Employment Specialist at Community Solutions Yeppoon, Charissa provides holistic support, tailoring solutions for both job seekers and employers. She’s known for empowering individuals to challenge themselves and achieve milestones that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Nikki Cross, General Manager Employment Services at Community Solutions, praised Charissa’s dedication. “Charissa’s tireless efforts to address barriers to employment and assist local businesses are a credit to her passion and expertise,” Nikki said.
Charissa’s recognition at the NESA Awards is just one of many accolades she’s earned, including the 2024 CoAct Employment Consultant of the Year award. Her work exemplifies Community Solutions’ commitment to creating meaningful change in regional communities.
Congratulations, Charissa! Your dedication inspires us all.
