Our EmployAbility program helps people living with disability develop employability skills, form industry connections, and work towards job opportunities.
We are passionate about working with people to give them real help in building skills and gaining sustainable employment. Breaking down barriers, identifying potential and creating opportunity is not only our job, but the cornerstone of our success.
The EmployAbility program has been designed to effectively support people with additional needs that would like to work and have the capacity to participate independently.
