Transition Planning: SLES programs typically begin with transition planning, where participants work with support coordinators or transition planners to identify their goals, strengths, interests, and support needs. This process helps participants develop a clear vision for their future and set realistic and achievable goals for employment, further education, or vocational training.
Skills Development: SLES programs offer a range of skills development activities aimed at enhancing participants' employability and independence. These activities may include job readiness training, resume writing, interview preparation, communication skills development, workplace etiquette, and practical skills training relevant to specific industries or job roles.
Work Experience and Internships: To gain real-world work experience and explore different career options, SLES participants are often provided with opportunities for supported work experience placements or internships. These placements allow participants to develop practical skills, gain insight into different industries, build confidence in a professional setting, and establish valuable connections with employers.
Job Coaching and Support: Participants in SLES programs receive ongoing job coaching and support from employment specialists or job coaches. These professionals provide individualised support tailored to the participant's needs, including on-the-job training, task instruction, problem-solving, and assistance with workplace adjustments or accommodations to ensure success in the workplace.
Transition to Open Employment: The ultimate goal of SLES programs is to support young people with disabilities in transitioning to open employment or further education upon completion of the program. Employment specialists work closely with participants to explore job opportunities, assist with job applications, facilitate job interviews, and provide ongoing support after securing employment to ensure successful integration into the workforce.
Community Engagement and Social Inclusion: SLES programs also focus on fostering social inclusion and community engagement among participants. Through group activities, peer support networks, and community outings, participants have opportunities to develop social skills, build friendships, and connect with their local community, which are essential for overall well-being and quality of life.
Collaboration with Employers and Community Partners: SLES providers collaborate with employers, industry partners, vocational training institutions, and community organisations to create inclusive and supportive environments for young people with disabilities. By working together, they can advocate for inclusive hiring practices, provide training opportunities, and establish supportive networks to facilitate the successful transition of young people with disabilities into the workforce.

Guidance and Advice: Support coordinators serve as guides and advisors, helping NDIS participants understand their NDIS plans, goals, and funding. They provide information about available supports and services, explain the NDIS processes and terminology, and assist participants in making informed decisions about their supports.
Plan Implementation: Support coordinators assist participants in implementing their NDIS plans by connecting them with service providers and coordinating the delivery of supports and services. They help participants identify suitable providers, negotiate service agreements, and ensure that services are delivered in accordance with their plan goals and funding allocations.
Capacity Building: Support coordinators work with participants to build their capacity to effectively manage their supports and achieve their goals. This may involve providing training and support in areas such as budgeting, scheduling, goal setting, and self-advocacy. By empowering participants to take control of their supports, support coordinators help them become more independent and confident in managing their NDIS plans.
Navigating the System: The NDIS can be complex and confusing to navigate, particularly for those new to the scheme. Support coordinators assist participants in understanding their rights and responsibilities under the NDIS, accessing information and resources, and resolving any issues or challenges that may arise during the planning and implementation process.
Collaboration and Advocacy: Support coordinators collaborate with participants, their families, carers, and other stakeholders to ensure a coordinated approach to support delivery. They advocate on behalf of participants to ensure their needs and preferences are heard and respected, and they work to resolve any conflicts or disagreements that may arise between participants and service providers.
Review and Monitoring: Support coordinators regularly review participants' progress towards their goals and the effectiveness of their supports. They monitor service delivery, collect feedback from participants and stakeholders, and make adjustments to the plan as needed to ensure it remains relevant and responsive to the participant's changing needs and circumstances.
