Currently accepting enrolment into next cohort, starting 10 October!
Each person with a disability is unique and brings specific interests, knowledge, skills and personal attributes to the workplace, so we want to ensure that people with intellectual disability are given every opportunity and can create possibilities for their future.
That’s why we’re rolling out the Possibility Pathways Program – for you to take the step in unlocking your future possibilities!
What is the Possibility Pathways Program?
Our newest Possibility Pathway Program aims to support young Queenslanders with low level language, literary, numeracy and digital skills to develop the job skills required to pursue:
- Career goals
- Further training and education
- Better job roles
- Personal growth and wellbeing
Through engagement in this program, we believe that young people with intellectual disabilities will develop the fundamental skills to pursue their career aspirations and increase their likelihood of transitioning to further training and employment or improved job roles. On completion, participants can receive ongoing support through our employment team to identify and apply for employment opportunities, coaching for job applications and interviews, as well as mentoring and career advice.
This program is supported by Queensland Government through the Skilling Queenslanders for Work (SQW) grant to provide skills development initiatives and job assistance for people with intellectual disabilities.
We are currently accepting registrations for our next cohorts, commencing:
- Monday 14 October until Tuesday 9 December
- Monday 3rd February until Tuesday 14 April
There are only limited seats available so apply today to secure your spot!
What’s included in the program?
The program will be run over 2 days per week for 8 weeks. There are 4 cohorts to be delivered over the next year with multiple intake dates.
Foundation skills are embedded into a curriculum of topics critical for and tailored to this priority group of people with intellectual disability, and responsive to the barriers they face to employment and other pathways. The program includes components of foundation skills like reading, writing, oral communication, and numeracy through tasks such as:
- how to write resumes
- applications and interview processes
- IT and technology literacy
- independent travel training
- communication skills
