When an NDIS participant leaves school, there are a range of pathways and supports that can help them transition smoothly into employment and adult life.

This session will explore the options available to young people whether they are aiming for open employment, further education, community participation, or building the skills they need for the next stage of their journey.

It will provide an overview of the NDIS supports that can help young people prepare for life after school and move confidently toward employment.

In this session we will cover:

The types of NDIS supports that can assist with employment preparation
How to build skills and independence during the final years of school
Pathways available after school and how to choose options that align with a young person’s aspirations, abilities, and interests
