School Leaver Employment Support

Individualised courses for school leavers with Neurodiversity

Introduction to SLES

Employ for Ability is delivering individualised School Leaver Employment Supports for people with an Autism diagnosis. Each participant will receive a comprehensive review of strengths, goals and a tailored program that meets their needs of developing the skills and attitudes necessary to become a successful employee.

The tailored programs will incorporate courses on self development to learn about the important aspects of determining work interests as well as obtaining and sustaining employment.

The most important aspect will be putting all the learning together and participating in work experience opportunities across a range of roles of interest. All of this will be supported by autism trained consultants to maximise the results for each individual.

Courses and work experience will be delivered over a 48 week period with some breaks between modules to reflect on the learning as well as source work experience opportunities.
