✨ In addition to the program we can also assist with...

Capacity building in the work skills area to support with work readiness (e.g. managing time, organisation and communication skills, social skills development and public transport training, support to become self-advocates plus more).

📍 How do I meet with you?

Whilst face to face is often a first choice, it's not always possible for those living further away, perhaps in regional and remote communities. We can assist by meeting online. From time to time, we may also advertise group opportunities for you to come along and connect with others. We meet in public spaces e.g. public libraries to work through the program with young people, or are happy to visit schools/organisations to work on site.

How do I begin the process?

👋 Step 1: Meet & Greet

We will meet with you online or via phone. If you are under 18 years, this will also include meeting with your parent/carer. During this 20 minute meet and greet, we will explain more about the program and process. We will also ask what your goals are and any expectations you may have. If you would like to proceed, we can make a time to start our sessions.

💪 Step 2: POWER Coaching

Utilising the My Career Coach Program, we will guide you through the five steps of POWER Coaching. This will allow you to create a personalised life and career pathway. We encourage all of our participants to gain access to an 'online seat' where you can complete various tasks, set your goals and reset them (if needed) over four years.

The plan can be completed over 2 x 1.5 hour sessions. For 'extras', we are happy to tailor a program for you.

🌟 Ongoing Coaching

Once your coaching plan has been completed, we can continue to meet to help you stay on track and committed to your goals. We will review your progress, discuss any challenges and celebrate your achievements! You can choose how often you would like to meet and for how long.
