School to Work

Calling all parents, family members and educators of a student with disability who is currently in Years 9 or 10.

Is the young person you support eager to get a job or are you/they thinking about their employment future?  It’s never too early to start considering the possibilities!

The School to Work project aims to inspire and equip students with disability, through the support of families, to seek meaningful, paid employment in the community. School to Work will show that real employment in the community is achievable for young people with disability, and it’s never too early to start exploring the possibilities.

These two-part webinars provide information for all the varying stages of the process; from those families who haven’t started thinking about employment for the young person to families where the young person is already in paid work.  

If you haven’t yet had a chance to attend RIC’s free webinars earlier this year, they are running UPDATEDsessions in August – September for families of young people in this year group, students and professionals.  The days and times are:

• Discovering Work in Years 9-10 - Getting Started: Thursday, 26 August @ 12-1pm
• Discovering Work in Years 9-10 - The Next Steps: Thursday, 9 September @ 12-1pm
