About the program
Work-ready starts with confidence.
WorkLaunch™ is a supported, NDIS-aligned employment readiness program for young people getting ready to step into the workforce.
It's delivered one-on-one for 3 hours each week, so everything is shaped around the participant, and you can start any time. Participants also come together as a group occasionally, to connect and practise with their peers.
Confidence, executive functioning and professional behaviours, built one week at a time.
Real outcomes
This is what it's all for.

Moments like this are why WorkLaunch™ exists. Every résumé, every practice interview and every bit of confidence built along the way is working toward a day like this one.
Inside the program
What you'll practise
Hands-on, one-on-one sessions that build the skills employers actually look for.
1
Workplace confidence
Showing up, joining in and backing yourself in a workplace setting.
2
Communication
Talking with managers, co-workers and customers, and asking for help when you need it.
3
Job-ready skills
Résumés, applications and interview practice, so the first step feels doable.
4
Self-advocacy and resilience
Knowing your strengths, speaking up for what you need, and bouncing back.
Practice makes confident
Yes, we do mock interviews.
Interviews are a lot less scary once you've done a few. In WorkLaunch™, participants sit real practice interviews in a safe, supportive setting, then get friendly, practical feedback.
By the time the real thing comes around, they know what to expect, what to say and how to show their strengths.
Beyond the practice room
Then we head out and make it real
Once the résumé is ready and the mock interviews are done, we don't stop there.
1
Résumé and mock interviews
We get the résumé sorted and practise interviews until they feel comfortable.
2
Out and about
We take participants out into the community to meet employers face to face.
3
Calls and connections
We help them make the calls and build the connections that open doors.
4
Trial days at workplaces
Real trial days, so they can try a workplace and the workplace can meet them.
5
Ongoing support
We stay alongside them with ongoing support as they settle in and grow.
