Today we are celebrating Indigenous Literacy Day! This year, the theme is ‘Be A Proud Voice for Country’. Reading Opens Doors ‑ doors to future opportunities and choices! Today, the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) is sharing some of the deep and diverse ways children, Elders and families connect with Country; and the significance of Country in Aboriginal Communities. The ILF works with over 400 remote First Nations communities to deliver much-needed literacy and book programs. They focus on ensuring access to quality resources, including books in First Languages, publishing Community stories and co-designing local programs. If you are able, please consider donating to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation: https://lnkd.in/g3neTmvc Or buy a book or book bag from their online store: https://shop.ilf.org.au/ #AKGCommunities #RealFutures #RiseVentures #IndigenousLiteracy #IndigenousLiteracyFoundation #IndigenousLiteracyDay #FirstNationsBooks #VoiceForCountry #ReadingOpensDoors

Dylan is thriving in a role he loves #uLaunch #uLaunchWoolongong #DisabilityEmploymentServices #DES #Disability #Employment #EmployerCollaboration
At 20 years old, Dylan faced significant challenges transitioning from school to work due to autism and anxiety. Through customised support from uLaunch, Dylan developed confidence and improved his social and interview skills. In January 2024, Dylan started a tailored role at the Illawarra Yacht Club, where he is now thriving! Achieving 26 weeks of employment in July, Dylan says “I love working and the community at my workplace.” Read Dylan’s story here: https://lnkd.in/gM-HAbZA [ID: Image of a young male working, stocking a cellar.

A new partnership with Specialisterne Australia helps our uLaunch team gain greater insights into working with neurodivergent people.
Last week, the uLaunch team spent valuable time with Specialisterne Australia gaining deeper insights into how we can better support our neurodivergent participants in finding and sustaining meaningful employment along with creating a more neuroinclusive workplace at uLaunch. Key to this effort is our commitment to tailoring our disability support model by incorporating feedback from both our partners, employees and participants. We had in-depth discussions around the crucial role of coaching, the necessity of employer training, and the importance of additional support tools. We also examined the impact of traditional CV preparation and interview processes on our participants. These conversations are essential to continuously improving our approach and ensuring the delivery of quality and accessible employment pathways. This is just the beginning of many discussions as we strive to co-create innovative and effective solutions that empower people with disabilities to thrive in employment, their communities, and beyond. Thank you to Specialisterne for their collaboration and to our community for their ongoing support. [ID: A photograph of a woman smiling and looking directly at the camera.

Barunga Community School came to visit our Training Hub in Katherine (NT). It's run by our First Nations partner, Nyirrunggulung Rise. Perhaps some of the students will become interested in a career in construction or another trade. #AKGEmployment #AKGEducation #NY-Rise #FirstNations #Training #Collaboration
Yesterday, Nyirrunggulung-RISE opened the doors of our Katherine Training Hub to students and educators from Barunga Community School 🔨 We're partnering up with the school to run work days for the senior students, who will be mentored by our team. This will give them some practical building experience, a different learning environment and they get to make items to use at home. For some of the students, we hope it will spark an interest in a career in construction or another trade 👷🏽♂️ We started with a tour of the Hub followed by a session on safe operating procedures in a work shed. We then introduced them to some of the tools and machines we use with a safety briefing 🦺 on each one. It was great to see both young men and women interested in this opportunity. We look forward to our first students coming in for their work day! #KatherineTrainingHub #BarungaCommunitySchool #CareersInConstruction #WorkingTogether #CommunityPride #StudentEngagement #Barunga #NyirrunggulungRISE

It's National Skills Week and vocational training can be a game changer (and a career changer). We talked to Mark, Hannah and Tim - three of our students at VFA Learning - about their decision to change careers through courses with us. #AKGEducation #VFALearning #VocationalTraining #gamechanger #lifechanger
