School Leaver Employment Supports

School Leaver Employment Support (SLES)

Mai-Wel’s Step Up Transition and Employment Service is a registered provider for School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES). The service offers individualised and group support for up to two years after finishing Year 12, to build capacity and develop employment skills and confidence for school leavers to find and sustain employment.

Step Up’s services are goal orientated and delivered to promote work skills and capacity building across a five day per week timetable. The activities and services provided encourage development of employability and vocational skills and promote sustainable employment for young people with a disability.
