NDIS Employment Support for Young People
Ready to build confidence, learn real-world skills and take your next step towards work?
BCR Communities’ Youth Employment Assistance program (formerly School Leaver Employment Supports – SLES) is designed for young people with an NDIS plan who want practical support to move towards employment, independence and a future that feels right for them. Whether you’re still at school, have recently finished, or are figuring out your next step, we’ll meet you where you are and support you to move forward.
Real work experience in real workplaces
What makes Youth Employment Assistance at BCR Communities different is the way you learn. Instead of sitting in a classroom, you gain hands-on experience in genuine community workplace settings, including:
These are real workplaces where you can try new things, build job skills and discover what you enjoy, in a safe and supportive environment.
