School Leaver Employment Supports

Our passion for supporting youth with disability at Edge has seen us become a registered NDIS provider.

This important partnership gives us the opportunity to expand on our services, including delivering School Leaver Employment Supports. It also enables us to further assist young people with disability to reach their employment goals.

As part of the School Leaver Employment Supports, we prepare Year 12 students for their transition into the workplace, through a range of individualised activities to get the students job-ready.

These include goal setting and career planning, work experience, money handling, resume writing, transport training and interview preparation. Our School Leaver Employment Supports activities are delivered one-on-one, or in small groups, to ensure a safe and beneficial learning environment.

Anthony smiling while writingA wonderful story we’re proud to share is Tony’s, who approached Edge after completing Year 12. From the outset, it was clear Tony was driven and motivated, with so much potential to offer any future employer. We were delighted to help Tony navigate his transition from school to work, with the School Leaver Employment Supports funding forming part of his NDIS plan. His NDIS Consultant, Jenny, immediately saw his potential. She provided individualised supports to help Tony transition his skills from his Certificate III in Hospitality into the workforce.

From the day we met Tony, he kept growing and flourishing, with a newfound confidence and skillset. Since Tony was such a standout, he was invited to be part of a recruitment drive at one of Perth’s 5-star luxury hotels. We were thrilled when we were told that Tony had been offered the opportunity to work in one of their premium fine dining restaurants as a waiter, and put his new skills to the test. We’re immensely proud of Tony and can’t wait to watch his journey unfold in his new role.
