Work Readiness Program

At Aruma, our Work Readiness Program is designed just for you. With Aruma’s support, you can build the skills you need to land the job you want.

There’s a huge range of skills you can learn to get you job ready. These include:

  • Employment planning and goal setting
  • Travel independence
  • Effective communication
  • Time management and prioritisation
  • Preparing for work
  • Plus a great choice of electives to choose what’s right for you

Yes! Work experience and work site tours are a valuable part of our Work Readiness Program.

When you’re looking for a job, it can be hard to decide which one would suit you.

By getting involved in work experience and tours of various worksites, you get a ‘sneak peek’ at different work environments to see what you like and what is suitable for you.

We know people learn in different ways, so we want you to have the choice and control.

Our supports are delivered in an adult learning environment and include hands on experience in the workplace. You’ll always be able to learn at your own pace, with as much or as little support as you need from our knowledgeable mentors and trainers.

Yes! You will have the chance to work towards a formal qualification if it relates to a goal in your NDIS plan.

There are options to engage informal training that matches your employment pathway plan and goals.
