We are thrilled to share this new online guide created by the youth advisors at the National Collaboration of Employment and Disability (including the NYEB Youth Advisory Board’s Chloe!), based on their lived experiences of the ups and downs navigating employment services: ‘Thriving in employment services: your rights, your future’.
The guide includes a video and ten short, easy-to-read articles. You can find this exciting new series of resources at this link: www.bsl.org.au/nced-youth
Three young people living with disabilities led the work, supported by staff at BSL. Each brought their strong sense of justice, different lived experience of navigating study, work, and employment services, and creative skills to this project.
“For our final project of the year, we’ve developed a fantastic resource to help young people understand their rights in employment services. We noticed a gap in resources that are easily available for job seekers, and we wanted to collate some information for young people entering the workforce with the help of employment services. We’d love your help to spread the word!”
– Rhianna, youth advisor and co-author of the Thriving in Employment Services guide
