About the Online Workshop on Thursday 29th February

This online workshop is for all school staff and other professionals who work with secondary school students with disabilities.

It will complement what we share with families and is designed to equip teachers and support staff to partner with secondary students and their families in their quest for work.

Participants hear family stories of what is possible and work through some practical activities.

Please note this is a repeat of the online workshops offered in 2023.

This interactive workshop will cover:

Positive Vision and high expectations for work
The importance of the student voice
A range of stories to highlight how to find or create work experience or work opportunities
Identifying the conditions that help set up the young person for success in work
Exploring what good employment support looks like
