Unlocking Opportunities, Empowering Lives
At Jobs Australia Enterprises Ltd, we deliver the Disability Employment Services (DES) program to our Participants on a holistic level. We identify their barriers to employment, assess their skills and abilities, review qualifications and previous employment history, and explore potential employment paths. Together with our Participants, we develop an individually tailored pathway plan with the aim of securing sustainable employment.
The DES program is part of the Australian Government’s employment services system. It has been designed to provide tailored assistance to jobseekers who require additional support due to a disability or facing complex barriers.
