Module 1: What is Customised Employment?
Customised Employment is an approach that tailors jobs to fit the unique strengths, interests, and needs of a person with disability, ensuring mutual benefit for both the employee and employer.

Module 2: Discovery
Discovery is the first step in Customised Employment and involves understanding a person's interests, skills, and conditions necessary for them to thrive at work. It moves beyond simply asking people what they want to do or assessing them through tests. Instead, it focuses on understanding their life, activities, and contributions to tailor a job that fits them well.

Module 3: Visual resumes
A visual resume tells a visual story about a person's talents, skills, experiences, and tasks. It helps employers visualise the person in their business.
