Transitioning from school to work is a significant life milestone for students with disability and their families.
As a parent or family member, you want to find employment opportunities that will assist your child to feel good about themselves, giving them a sense of purpose, independence, and self-worth.
However, this journey can be complex, bringing a mix of emotions. Some parents might feel hopeful and eager to explore new possibilities, while others may feel uncertain, especially if they’ve been told their child is unlikely to work. Concerns about job stability, the availability of adequate support, and finding a role that truly fulfils your child’s potential can add to the challenge.
These mixed feelings and worries are natural and common. It’s important to reflect on the expectations you have for your child’s employment and how these expectations shape your approach to supporting them.
With the right guidance and resources, you can help your child explore pathways to meaningful and rewarding employment and ensure they have every opportunity to lead a fulfilling life.
Our solution: a Customised Employment approach
Customised Employment is an evidence-based approach that focuses on a person’s interests, needs, and potential contributions to create job roles tailored to them, rather than fitting them into pre-existing positions. This method has proven successful in creating employment roles that give people with disability a sense of purpose, fulfilment, and stability in their work lives.
Join our online webinar
To help you get started on this journey, we are offering a 60-minute online webinar tailored specifically for families of students with disability. This session will provide practical, easy-to-understand information to guide you in supporting your child’s transition from school to work. We’ll cover key topics such as understanding customised employment, building a visual resume, exploring new opportunities, and ensuring long-term job success.
Why attend?
Equip yourself and your child with the knowledge and tools to plan for jobs after school.
Receive 10 actionable insights that you can start implementing now while your child is still in school.
Find ways for your family to take control of employment planning and ensure your child is in the best possible position after school.
Understand that anyone can take these steps, regardless of whether you have NDIS or other employment supports.
We look forward to helping you and your family take the first steps toward a fulfilling and successful career path for your child.
