Webinar: Real Stories of Meaningful Work

This webinar shares real local stories of five young people with disability who have found meaningful employment. Hear from the young person and their family about their job and the good things work brings to their life. Observe from other families what is possible, what it takes and why it is worth the effort. Parents share learnings and tips so you can take what is applicable to your young person and situation.

The webinar will include live Q&A. *Please note this webinar will NOT be recorded or available to watch later, it is only available to watch live on the day.

This interactive webinar will cover:
• Family stories demonstrating meaningful work is possible for young people with disability
• Strategies for finding and maintaining meaningful employment, and the role of family in this process
• The importance of the young person being involved throughout the process and tailoring both the journey and the job to the individual
