Pathways to Independence & Employment

Our Pathways to Independence and Employment programs empower participants to pursue their life goals and career options in a vibrant and supportive environment.

We provide a range of accredited and pre-accredited programs for readiness and transition to employment that encourage greater independence, control and fulfilment. Our skilled and enthusiastic staff work together with participants and their support network to tailor a plan that best supports the participants journey – whether that is life long learning or employability. 

By building partnerships within the local community we provide avenues for volunteering and work placements that deliver a sense of contribution, achievement and belonging. We also offer social and recreational programs among the community that further foster a sense of team work, belonging and, of course, fun! Our Onemda campuses provide a social setting that also encourages social customs, group communication and friendships.

You can find out more about this program in our Pathways to Independence & Employment brochure.
