Plan for Your Future Employment Program
Workpower can help you work towards achieving your employment goals – whether it’s at one of our own businesses or in another workplace.
We know that life after school is one of the most significant transitions we experience, and it's tricky to navigate and decide what choices to make.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) recognises this and provides employment support funding in your NDIS plan from year 10.
We match you with a support coach who will support you to:
Discover your skills and talents
Build your employment confidence at a pace that suits you
Build your employment skills
You may be ready to jump straight into work experience, an after-school job, or participate in activities that help build your confidence and independence.
What Will I Learn?
Through this program, you will learn:
Time management skills
Money handling and budgeting skills
How to manage public transport independently
How to find a career pathway that suits you
Valuable work experience
Skills with qualifications
Resume writing and how to interview
The program's focus will depend on where you are in your school journey.
Year 10 students will explore passions and interests outside school hours to identify personalised employment pathways and develop soft skills.
Year 11 and 12 students will build on their passions and interests for in-depth skill development and practical experience.
School graduates can transition to permanent employment support, such as receiving support at work or continuing to explore employment options.
What NDIS Funding Do I Need?
You can use Finding and Keeping a Job, School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES) or Core funding for this program.
We can help you to apply for this funding if you do not have it.
