A guide to support young people with disability into After School Jobs

This suite of resources articulates the key components of best practice for supporting the transition from school to employment for young adults with disability in Australia, based on the best available evidence.

‘Meaningful engagement’ is a new requirement to employment services. In the new government program ‘Inclusive Employment Australia’ which is set to replace Disability Employment Services (DES) in November this year, ‘meaningful engagement’ will be used to monitor whether a person with disability is participating in activities intended to help them gain employment.  We believe that further work and investigation is required to define and ensure genuine reciprocity between services and participants.  ​​​​​​

With the support of Gandel Foundation we have embarked on a project to support schools to implement evidence-based and effective, school to work transition and career development for students with a disability.
