Our Work Experience Service is for:

– People who have a goal of employment, but who might need more time (e.g. more than one year) and/or more support to achieve that goal than what typical Supported Employment Services would offer (though the common goal is the same).

– People looking for a valued role outside of employment, such as volunteerism within a charitable or not-for-profit organization.

Then this service may be what you are looking for.

No matter which service program is accessed, the staff at SCE LifeWorks will work together with the people we support by:

· Accessing employment options and community activities.

· Encouraging relationships and maximizing the use of natural supports.

· Promoting community awareness of individual capabilities.

· Ensuring individuals are ready to enter the workplace, or will work on developing any areas requiring extra supports.

· Ensuring career long access through ongoing follow-up and bridge back services.

SCE LifeWorks recognizes that every individual has unique goals and ambitions and that families often play a very important role in supporting individuals to make informed decisions. We encourage parents and other family members to work with us to create opportunities for the inclusion of persons with intellectual disabilities. Building an effective support network is essential in creating a positive environment for the people we support.
