Supported Employment Program
A Supported Employment Program offers assistance to individuals with disabilities who need ongoing support to find and maintain paid employment. These programs, often provided by Australian Disability Enterprises (ADEs), aim to create inclusive workplaces where individuals can develop skills, earn wages, and participate in their communities.
Key aspects of Supported Employment:
· Target Audience:
Individuals with disabilities who require substantial ongoing support to gain or retain employment.
· Support Services:
This can include assistance with job searching, workplace adjustments, training, and ongoing support to ensure job retention.
· Workplace Type:
Supported employment can take place in ADEs, which are specifically designed to provide support, or in mainstream workplaces with appropriate support mechanisms.
· Benefits:
Increased independence, a sense of purpose, social connections, and the development of new skills and confidence.
· Funding:
Supported employment services can be funded through the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) for eligible individuals.
· Example:
Civic Industries in Sydney offers supported employment opportunities in areas like packaging and assembly, with flexible work hours and additional social activities
