What is Life After School?<\/h4>\n

Life After School is a 6-month face-to-face program providing practical support, mentoring, coaching and work experience opportunities for young people with borderline disability who are not eligible to receive NDIS funding. The program aims to support participants to develop skills to find and keep a job.<\/p>\n

In 2023, Life After School was delivered at four Northcott centres, in collaboration with TAFE and Disability Employment Services. In a group setting, participants completed modules to prepare them for applying for jobs and understanding workplaces. Each participant also completed a work experience placement in an industry or business of their choice, including Bunnings and Target. Northcott\u2019s Library, Life Skills service, Therapy Services and Administration team also offered work experience opportunities.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Life After School is funded by an Australian Government Information Linkages and Capacity (ILC) Building grant.” font_container=”tag:p|text_align:left|color:%231d4e97″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”content_bgr mar_bot60 single” css=”.vc_custom_1697640607669{background-color: #f2fffe !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” class=”content_inner” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

\u201cI learned a lot more about work and etiquette … I didn’t have a lot of experience with that, or a lot of knowledge. I also learned more about how important communication is in life and in work. The program has definitely helped.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve learned I want to do a lot more with people with autism. I think I’ve got knowledge that is really helpful and I want to work doing therapies that are very fun and engaging. After the program, I\u2019m thinking of exploring more opportunities in the therapy space and practicing things I’ve learned.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel clearer about what I should be doing to get a job. I was really unsure before about how it works. Now I feel more coherent about using websites such as Seek and Indeed and Jura to search for jobs. Also, how to write resumes, I never knew that before. I didn’t understand it but now I do.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking the Northcott Library has been very rewarding. It has built my skills up higher in shelving, knowing how to catalogue and the Dewey Decimals system.\u201d<\/p>\n
