Ticket to Work is preparing students with disability for the world of work through a collaborative approach.
Local Ticket to Work Networks are operating across Australia.
Since 2014, Ticket to Work Networks have supported over 1,600 young people into after school work, School based Traineeships and Apprenticeships.

Who is this resource for?

Ticket to Work promotes local partnerships to create better post-school social and economic outcomes.

The following case study video is valuable for employers, employment consultants / DES providers, schools, young people and their families. It is also a great story for the broader disability sector showcasing how connecting a student with disability to the world of work through a collaborative approach can have a positive impact for all involved.
