School Leavers Information Sessions

The National Disability Coordination Officer (NDCO) held information sessions in November 2019 with support from Chisholm TAFE, Holmesglen TAFE, Brotherhood of St Laurence, Latrobe Health, Taskforce, SkillsPlus, St John of God and Uniting.

  Presenters provided pathways information more about;

• Support available to plan your journey beyond school
• Supports for further education
• Supports for employment
• NDIS supports to further education and employment goals

Individuals had the opportunity to meet with representatives and ask questions relevant to their individual needs.  This was a great opportunity for individuals to better understand what sort of support they need to consider on their pathways to further education and employment before approaching individual services and programs.

Representatives also had the benefit of connecting with students, parents, school representatives, Local Area Coordinators, TAFE Disability Liaison Officers, Transition To Work Coaches, Disability Employment Service and School Leaver Employment Supports specialists to support knowledge, local connections and referrals.

The NDCO would like to thank everybody involved for demonstrating your commitment to empowering people with disability to make informed choices about their career pathways.

We look forward to taking the learnings from these events to assist both young people with disability and their supports in the new year.  

There will be more session to come so please keep a look out in the  NDCO Newletters.
