Skip the queue: Start the job

In this three-part webinar series about employment, you’ll meet families who stopped waiting and started building.

Through real stories, practical steps, and a bit of defiance, you’ll see how paid work is not just possible, it’s already happening.

The difference between ‘waiting to be deemed job-ready’ and confidently joining the workforce is an approach called Customised Employment.

With Customised Employment, employment doesn’t begin with a job ad—it begins with the person. By uncovering their interests, strengths, and ideal conditions for success, families and supporters can work alongside employers to create a role that truly fits.

In this series, you’ll meet Jack, Milly, and Sethmi, young Canberrans in real jobs, making valued contributions, supported by their families who have taken a Customised Employment approach.
