Community Employment Partnership
Why is Employment Important?
Employment is important for all people; it gives us a sense of self-worth, purpose, financial security, relationships and friends. However, people with intellectual disability and/or autism are one of the most underemployed groups in Australia, with only 16% employed in he open market and only 5% have paid work as their main source of income.
The Community Employment Partnership aims to address some of the barriers to employment and increase our collective response to improve employment outcomes for people with an intellectual disability and/or autism.
The project is modelled on the Rotary Employment Partnership in Alberta, which has sustained outcomes for over 20 years. To find out more about how it works, you can watch this video:
