About the Project

This project will deliver a series of small-group, peer-supported workshops based on the principles of Customised Employment (CE). The workshops are open to people with disability, regardless of NDIS status, and are designed to be inclusive, accessible, and community-based. Participants will explore their strengths, develop a Visual Resume, build digital literacy, and co-create a personalised Job Seeking Plan. Supporters such as family members and support workers will also be engaged to ensure holistic and sustainable outcomes. The Project Officer will be provided with structured training and a training package to be utilised during the workshops. This is a fixed-term contract (20 hours a week to 30 June 2026) based on grant funding.
