Youth Group
Term 3
Job Readiness
Employment is an essential component of transitioning from adolescence to adulthood and a critical source of livelihood. Although many youths experience challenges in obtaining employment, those with a disability often experience more barriers compared to their typically developing peers.
Job Readiness is a program designed to teach youth pre-employment skills and gain confidence to set attendees up for success in the workforce.
The program consists of nine face-to-face sessions covering the benefits of paid employment, how to write a resume, dress for a job interview, mock interviews, workplace sight visits and more.

Fun is the name of the game
Our youth groups offer you a wide range of activities.
As well as being fun, these activities are a great way to develop social skills and build relationships.
