Improving VET Outcomes for for People with a Disability
The transition from school to work and meaningful long-term employment prospects can be considerably harder for students with a disability than for other students. A key priority of BVET was to improve opportunities and outcomes for individuals with special needs.
This project focus was on a specific group of school students with a disability who have taken a vocational education and training course at school. The project aimed to provide the Board with both a practical means of assisting members of this cohort in managing the transition from school into employment, via apprenticeship and traineeship pathways, and an opportunity to leverage systemic change in the employment of people with a disability.
The project was steered by a Reference Group. A pilot brokerage service, managed by NSW Department of Education and Training New Apprenticeships Centres, linked up to 40 HSC VET in Schools students with a disability with an employer and appropriate support services. The second part of the project related to documentation of the current employment and training support service provision for people with a disability and strategies to improve employment outcomes. The project was completed in 2005 and final report available.
