My Life, My Future
My Life, My Future is a vocational program for young people with a disability who have employment related goals.
Our focus is on working with our participants to gain exposure to jobs, workplaces, and industries so they can make informed decisions about their employment goals. Our goal is to ensure that each person who participates in our program can meet their individual goals and create customised pathways to employment.
We support participants to explore education options, vocational training, volunteer work, and supported and open employment.
Everyone is encouraged and actively supported to develop at their own place and be curious about what is possible.
Employability Skills Training
Weekly classroom training aimed at enhancing both traditional and 21st-century employability skills. Develop your communication and people skills, build confidence, and interact with others in a professional context to practice engaging with employers.
Industry Immersion
Hands-on experiences across a variety of industries to build your knowledge of the labor market and essential employability skills, supported by guided tours, workplace activities, guest speakers, mock interviews, and weekly engagement with a network of industry partners.
Project Based Skill Development
Hands-on projects designed and delivered by participants that allow you to explore your creativity and practice life skills such as leadership and resilience.
Practical Work Experience
Placements are offered as an elective component of your My Life, My Future program to explore jobs that interest you and match you with suitable industry partners offering work experience.
All work experience placements are supported by a disability support worker, either 1:1 or in small groups depending on the nature of the placement.
Individual Coaching
One-hour weekly coaching sessions to promote self-discovery and goal attainment.
Coaching sessions take the experiential learning achieved in group-based activities and work with you to consolidate learning, further develop skills in areas where additional support is beneficial, and carve out individual pathways to employment.
