Career Development

We provide support for people with disability to pursue work in the community.

Whether it’s a part-time job in a local business, or developing a microbusiness of your own, we work with you to achieve your employment goals.

Please note, Workpower is not a provider of Disability Employment Services (DES). If you have specific funding allocated through Disability Employment Australia for disability employment support,

We regularly run programs to support people with disability develop their employment skills through:

  • Resume development

  • Interview practice

  • Job sampling

  • Identifying training pathways

Job Ready Program

We provide work experience opportunities in our social enterprises through a 12-week program. This will:

  • Help you gain experience in a work environment

  • Learn and adapt to a work routine

  • Develop basic work skills

  • Give you a taste of a particular industry

Social Enterprise Work Experience Program

For high school students and school leavers, this program will help you identify a potential career path and gain valuable employment skills along the way. It occurs across three stages:

  • Year 10s – explore your passions and interests outside of school hours

  • Year 11 and 12s – we’ll build on your passions for a more in-depth skill develpment and practical experience

  • After school – once you’ve finished school, we can provide more permanent employment support whether that’s getting into a job or exploring different skill-gaining experiences

Meet Alex!

For Workpower customer Alex Razmovski, volunteering his time at Fiona Stanley Hospital has led to a discovery of responsibility, fast learning and an ability to put a smile on everyone’s face.

After securing an initial interview for the volunteer position at the end of 2021, Alex worked with Liz Spina, his support coach, to ensure he was prepared for the interview and the steps that followed.

“The favourite part of my job is meeting people and trying to help them if I can!” said Alex.
