School can be such a large part of our lives, so transitioning from Year 12 to work can feel sudden and overwhelming. For people living with disabilities, this change can be even more difficult. At Breakthru, we offer personalised support to help participants develop key skills, knowledge and experience to pursue their employment goals with confidence. As long as you are finishing or just finished school and are eligible for an NDIS plan you can apply for school leaver employment support.
We understand that there is more than one way to pursue independence and employment satisfaction. Whether you want to gain long-term employment, learn skills to support your community or gain a higher education we are here to help.
At Breakthru, we work closely with teenagers to understand their needs and goals to prepare them for different jobs in the Melbourne workforce. Our SLES program provides support in these key areas:
Core work skills: We’ll work closely with you to ensure you have the foundation skills to build your understanding of the workplace and how you can pursue your goals.
Everyday life skills: We ensure young people have the necessary skills to navigate independence. From time management to budgeting and more.
Employment support: From resume writing to interviewing etiquette, we’ll make sure you have a solid understanding of employment processes.
