3 everyday strengths can reveal 3 career clues.

This week, notice one real example of each:

• Notice small details → quality checking
• Remember routines → stock or admin tasks
• Stay calm with others → customer or support roles

Write down what happened, what you did well, and which tasks felt interesting. These examples can help show your skills and interests more clearly when considering work options.

Next Gen Youth Employment can help measure your skills, interests and support needs, then connect them with inclusive local placements through our employer and training organisation networks.

Stop waiting for a job offer to celebrate your progress.

Feedback from training or a work trial can mark an important milestone. It may show you a skill to refine, a support plan to update, or a conversation to prepare for with an employer. Each practical next step builds momentum towards your career goals, even before the offer arrives.

Your progress deserves to be recognised along the way. Enquire Now or Check your eligibility for personalised employment support.

If you’re a young person with disability who finds busy workplaces overwhelming, this is for you.

Before your work trial, agree on a discreet signal with your supervisor. If the noise, pace or activity becomes too much, use the signal to ask for a short break. When you return, choose one clear priority and focus on completing it.

This shows employers that you can recognise what you need, communicate clearly and keep progressing. It also gives you a practical plan for managing a challenging moment.

Save this tip for your next work trial, then Enquire Now with Next Gen Youth Employment to practise a reset plan that supports your goals.

A small workplace issue can cost you before anyone notices.

When an adjustment, communication need or accessibility barrier goes unaddressed, misunderstandings can grow into performance concerns. That can affect your confidence, training and job security, even when the real issue is that the right support was never discussed.

You have workplace rights, including the right to raise support needs and request reasonable adjustments. Keep a private record of barriers, conversations and agreed supports. It can help you ask for a review early, before the situation escalates.

Knowing your rights early can help you speak up with confidence. Enquire Now or Check your eligibility for tailored support.

How we turn “I don’t have much experience” into a resume employers can act on:

We start with the job ad and choose one task the role requires. Then we build a simple evidence block:

I did, the task you completed
I used, the skills, tools or knowledge involved
I achieved, the result, improvement or outcome

School projects, volunteering and training activities all count. The key is showing what you can do in a way employers can spot quickly.

Our tailored employment support helps young people with disabilities identify their strengths and present them with confidence.

Are you treating every workplace mistake as proof you’re not coping?

Sustaining employment success does not mean getting everything right, all the time. When something goes wrong, try a simple repair script: acknowledge what happened, name the barrier, such as unclear instructions or fatigue, then suggest one practical next step with your supervisor. A personalised job coach can help you practise these words, build confidence and handle workplace challenges.

Stop treating “soft skills” like personality.

Waiting until you’re stressed to speak up isn’t a character trait, it’s a default habit. And employers don’t just hire what you can do. They watch how clearly you communicate when you’re busy.

Before each task, we practise one calm, disability-inclusive check-in phrase, like: “I’m going to follow the steps, if anything changes, I’ll let you know.”

That simple start helps employers see reliability alongside the hard-skill work. It also reduces the guessing for everyone on the team, so you can focus on doing the job well.

“Finding a job after school” isn’t just harder for young people with disabilities, it’s missing the right supports.

We see it when school finishes and suddenly everything is expected to fall into place. The NDIS School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES) is designed to guide eligible students through the transition with free, tailored employment support, then build real confidence for finding and keeping work.

Our SLES includes an eligibility check (via the form on our page). If you meet the criteria, we’ll help you get started.

You left school thinking you’d “figure it out”… but missed the SLES eligibility check.

That’s the hidden problem. If you’re worried about anxiety, low self-esteem, or fear of rejection when job hunting, the free School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES) pathway could have helped you step into work placement support with tailored guidance.

We see too many young people lose time because they didn’t check eligibility before moving on from school. If it’s still within reach, don’t wait.

Check your eligibility for NDIS School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES) with our “Check My Eligibility” form, Check your eligibility today.
