Effective school to employment transitions for young people with disability

The changing world of work will benefit people with disability if given the right supports including skill development, career education and pathway planning. PricewaterhouseCooper Australia (PwC) suggest that 44% or 5.1 million current Australian jobs are at risk of digital disruption in 20 years and 75% of the fastest growing occupations require STEM skills.

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.

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.
