Our passionate team of Employment Mentors are committed to providing meaningful, individualised capacity building activities to help school leavers achieve their employment goals.

You will learn things like:

– Safety at work
– Working with people
– Managing money
– Using transport and directions
– Working with people
– Technology and equipment

We will also help you try out different job and workplace options with:

– Job trials when you are ready

Our Employment Mentors will help you every step of the way!

How the program works:

People learn in different ways, so our EmployAbility program includes a mixture of learning activities to help you build confidence and get ready for work including:

– small group workshops, available 2 – 3 days per week and
– individual activities and mentoring

You will always be able to learn at your own pace with as much or as little support as you need.

Yes! You will have the chance to undertake training if it relates to a goal in your NDIS plan. This can include:
– First aid certificate
