Participants get a taste of local industry through School Leaver Employment Supports

Our team has been actively providing School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES) throughout Dubbo, a program designed to assist participants through NDIS Disability Support Services in gaining valuable insights into the workforce through hands-on visits to employers.

Recently, we have had some exceptional experiences that have highlighted the positive impact of these initiatives, led by skilled Bamara support staff.

“These tours are really important for our participants to engage in employment learning opportunities and make connections in the community to assist them reach there employment goals,” said NDIS Operations Manager, Lauren.

Pat took a tour of the factory that specialises in home improvements. He folded some scrap metal using the flash machine during the tour and observed the glass-cutting process. Additionally, Pat had the opportunity to pop rivet an awning and watched how each part of the factory operated.

Kate embarked on a discovery journey with an activity titled “All About Me,” where she set clear goals for her future. With a passion for animals, Kate visited a local pet retailer to explore potential employment opportunities. During her visit, she observed a typical day in an employee’s life, engaged in meaningful conversations with the assistant store manager, and asked insightful questions.

Our team also took a trip to a local cafe, where participants better understood the hospitality industry. They toured the workplace and interacted with staff, learning about different roles and how the equipment operates.

These industry visits provide participants a chance to connect with local businesses, explore career options, and develop essential skills for their future career goals. We are proud of everyone involved, who proved to be positive experiences all round.
