Most people have heard of disability services but may not know what they do, how they help and what they don’t do. Understanding these options is the first step to bettering your life if you have a disability, but learning more about it can be frustrating or challenging. These options are available to students, employers and job seekers, making it a win-win situation for everyone.
Students
These options can help students get into higher education facilities and can also help them transition from university to the workforce. They can help you enrol in University, fill out the necessary forms, help you access and use equipment, provide technical resources and more. Once you’ve completed your higher education, you will get the support you need to get ready for the workforce, which can include pre-employment training, learning about safety and planning a future. They can also help with teaching you the skills you need and searching for jobs.
Employers
Employers who wish to help those with disabilities can use disability services from well-renowned companies to ensure that the right person is chosen for the job. Your business will receive on-the-job training to make it easier for others to understand the disability and needs of the employee. However, they can also provide the employee with regular assessments to ensure that they are appropriate for that job. By offering jobs to those with disabilities, you may receive government funding and subsidies, as well.
Job Seekers
If you have a disability and are looking for a job, you may feel that the world is against you. While it can be frustrating, companies are available to help you. They can create a customised job plan for you, based on your goals, aspirations, and skills. They can also help train you by helping you with your resume and interview skills, as well as help find work that matches your skills.
