Presentation Description

People with disability are seeking employment outcomes that lead to engagement within the community. However, there is currently a significant employment service gap for people with disability in Australia. The Work Integration Social Enterprise Ability Model (WISE-Ability) has the potential to open up a new frontier for people with disability who want to work in a community-based job, by supporting organisations to create pathways to meaningful and sustainable employment. WISE-Ability enables purposeful organisational design of employment focused organisations to enable the provision of the employment supports that lead to good outcomes. This presentation will outline the model.
