LearnAbility
LearnAbility
LearnAbility is a unique new learning program that offers a pathway to employment, through a combined on the job work experience program whilst students gain a nationally recognised statement of attainment. We also customise this program to meet the needs of people with learning difficulties and disabilities.
Learners will complete a short nationally-recognised skill set that may lead to further traineeship opportunities in full qualifications.
Learners have the opportunity to undertake practical work placements in:
- Hospitality
- Retail
- Supply Chain Operations
- Business Administration
What does the program look like?
- Four to six weeks on the job learning, with two days per week practical work experience supported by your trainer
- Induction to the specific industry
- Completion of a short nationally-recognised skill set
- Skill development and capability building in small groups designed to secure employment opportunities
- Small group sessions designed to minimise anxiety, build self-confidence and encourage self-advocacy
