One-on-one mentoring to build the skills to find and keep a job, from his first resume to his first day. Funded through SLES (School Leaver Employment Supports) or Finding and Keeping a Job in his NDIS plan.
Younger and after a part-time job? Just ask. We help guys from 13.
We learn his skills, interests and goals by talking with family and seeing him at home and out in the community. Then we work out where he wants to go.
The skills that job needs, plus the ones around it: communication, goal setting, resumes and interviews.
That might be a simulated workplace we set up in our office or online, or work experience somewhere else. We find the work experience and job openings, and families are welcome to help if they want to.
It depends on him. His mentor might be there on shift, meet him on his lunch break, or check in and step back as he settles.
Guy first came to us for public transport training, learning to catch the bus on his own. As we got to know him, his love of video games and IT kept coming up, so we built on it.
With his mentor, Guy started his own business, Guy's IT Service, helping locals with their devices, building computers and fixing internet problems. That real work experience has taken him further: he now volunteers with TADWA and is studying IT.
Usually. Young men who are close to leaving school, or have left, are usually eligible for Finding and Keeping a Job funding. We check his plan on the call.
That's where most of the guys start. Step one is getting to know him, not throwing him into a job.
We help him find one. The goal is for him to learn how to find work himself, because eventually he won't need us.
If he needs it. We're flexible, and it depends on what he wants.
Yes. It might look a little different, whether he wants a part-time job, some experience or a sense of purpose. Just ask and we'll work it out together.
Young men aged 13 to 25 with a self-managed or plan-managed NDIS plan.
No. If it isn't working, tell us and we'll help you find something that is.
Request a 15-minute call. We'll learn a little about him, talk through his goals and plan, and set up a meet and greet.
