School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES) in Frankston
For young people aged roughly 16 to 22 who are finishing or have recently finished school, School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES) build work-readiness over up to two years. In Frankston, SLES with Good Company can include:
- Work-readiness skills: routines, communication, time management and confidence
- Travel training to get to work, TAFE or training independently
- Workplace visits and trying different kinds of work
- Resumes, mock interviews and work experience with local employers
- A clear plan for what happens after SLES funding ends
Many school leavers in Frankston go on to further training. Your mentor can help you explore courses at Chisholm Institute’s Frankston campus alongside work experience, so study and work build on each other.
You can read more about how SLES works on the NDIS website.
The best outcomes happen when everyone in your corner works together. With your consent, your mentor keeps your family, support coordinator, plan manager, school, employer and any Inclusive Employment Australia (formerly DES) provider in the loop. Good Company is an NDIS provider, not an Inclusive Employment Australia provider, so we work alongside your employment service rather than replacing it.
We also offer NDIS mentoring, microenterprise support for people who want to work for themselves, and other everyday supports in Frankston.
