Towards Employment (SLES)
Towards Employment is an NDIS funded School Leavers Employment Support (SLES) service providing a suite of activities to assist school leavers with a disability to gain the skills and confidence to transition to meaningful employment.
This service is flexible and responsive to the individual training and development needs and goals of each participant and focuses on employment focussed outcomes. Training opportunities are offered in both group and individualised sessions.
Participants have the opportunity to undertake activities that will build life and work skills, including, but not limited to:  personal goal setting, literacy and numeracy, job matching and selection, budgeting and money management, travel training, working unsupervised, workplace safety, teamwork, social skills, interview training, technology, healthy relationships and public speaking.
Work placements and job sampling are a major component of the service and participants will work towards a six month to year-long paid work placement.
