Employment Assistance

At Barossa Enterprises, we provide tailored employment opportunities to support you achieve your career goals. Available to individuals aged 14-64 years, we focus on building confidence, developing skills, and providing practical experiences to ensure success in securing and maintaining employment.

To access employment assistance, funding for finding and keeping a job must be included in your NDIS plan. This funding enables you to access a range of supports that align with your individual needs and career aspirations.

Assessment
We begin by getting to know you and understanding your unique abilities, needs, and aspirations. This allows us to individualize your program and provide the right level of support.

Capacity Building
Through structured activities and training, we help you develop essential skills that are key to securing and maintaining a job.

Goal Setting
Together, we set employment-related goals with a clear pathway to success. Your goals will be tailored to your interests and abilities, providing guidance on your career journey.

Work Experience
We put the skills you’ve learned into practice through real-life voluntary work settings. This hands-on experience builds confidence and prepares you for future employment opportunities.

Employment / Self-Employment / Further Education
After building your skills and gaining experience, our focus is on helping you secure meaningful, sustainable employment, explore self-employment options, or enroll in further studies to support your long-term career aspirations.

Post Employment Transition Support
Our support doesn’t end when you secure a job. Your dedicated consultant will continue to assist you as you transition into your new role, ensuring long-term success and stability in your employment.
