Job Skills training

Our Job Skills programs run at our social enterprise learning hubs to help you achieve your goals alongside people who share your interests.

Job Skills builds real pathways for people with disability to find paid employment.

We know that it can be a struggle for people to get their foot in the door and find work. With recent figures showing working-age people with disability are twice as likely as those without disability to be unemployed. Insufficient work experience is one of the most common reasons people with disability have difficulty finding employment (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2020).

That’s why we created the Job Skills programs. These programs are for people transitioning from school who are interested in work experience or further education, or for anyone aged over 18 who would like to explore opportunities for work or volunteering.

We have traineeships and work opportunities at our social enterprise businesses or with our Employment Partners across Victoria.

Employment Pathways

When you are ready to take the next step we’ll help you find and keep a job at a VMCH social enterprise or with a VMCH Employment Partner.

Our team will work with you to develop the skills and confidence to find a job by:

• Provide work experience in a real working business
• Match you with an employer and a job that is right for you
• Provide one to one support to find, apply and interview for paid-for work
• Support you while you learn the ropes at your job, by providing a Employment Mentor to check-in with you at your new work place.
