Introduction to SLES

Employ for Ability is delivering individualised School Leavers Employment Support 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.
