1 Working with you to achieve your career aspirations.
2 The Workpower Employment Program. Our Employment Program has four stages: > > Registration > > Job Search > > Employment training and support > > Independence Let s take a look at each stage in more detail. Stage 1. Registration. After you have been referred to Workpower, we will invite you to an assessment interview which will allow you to find out more information about the services we provide. Once you have been accepted, you are introduced to your Employment Consultant who will be your main contact at Workpower and the person who will directly assist you to realise your employment goals. It is important for Workpower to find out what your employment preferences are so we can match your skills and interests to an appropriate and desired position. The information gathered at this stage of the program is discussed at a meeting with your Employment Consultant, yourself and anyone else you may want to have present. At this meeting, your Employment Consultant works closely with you to develop an Employment Pathway Plan (EPP) to match your skills and interests with a suitable job. The purpose of the Employment Pathway Plan is to: > > Provide a simple and effective way for you to set the direction of your employment. > > Outline what types of jobs you are interested in and indicate any special conditions that must be considered when assisting you to find a job. > > Set a contract outlining your Employment Consultant s responsibilities and your own responsibilities for developing your work readiness and securing a position. Your Employment Pathway Plan is regularly reviewed to make sure the strategies continue to meet your needs and are helping you move towards your employment goals. Stage 2. The job search process. The job search process is tailored to meet your individual needs and aspirations and will be outlined in your Employment Pathway Plan. Typical job search methods include: > > Cold canvassing of potential employers meeting your criteria > > Repeat business from existing and previous employers > > Canvassing personal contacts of staff > > Canvassing your own contacts > > Searching newspaper advertisements and websites such as the Australian Job Search website > > Joining recruitment programs of Government Departments and larger businesses Through successful placements, Workpower has built strong relationships with many employers and this source of contacts continues to grow. The job search is a partnership; therefore it s essential you take personal responsibility for the actions detailed in your plan. Stage 3. Employment training and support. Once you have secured a work experience or job placement, employment support can cover all aspects of the job. Sometimes, we can also help with issues you may have outside of work that are work-related. Outside of work issues may include helping you liaise with Centrelink, accessing help you need from other agencies, sorting out transport issues or routes, helping to problem solve or dealing with lack of motivation to go to work. On the job support includes helping you fit in with the other workers, finding out about working conditions and on the job training. We can also assist you with: > > Access to wage subsidies > > Workplace modification scheme > > Supported wage system As you get closer to reaching the required level of speed, quality and integration in your job, your Employment Consultant will review the level of support provided to you at your workplace and gradually reduce it depending on your needs. For example, intensive daily support may be replaced by a visit once a week and reduced to fortnightly and then to three weekly visits. A phone call to you at home or a phone call to your employer may also be appropriate. Stage 4. Independence. At this stage usually after at least six months you are settled in your job and satisfied with your employer. Your employer is also happy with your performance. Workpower s services are no longer required.
3 Welcome to Workpower. Welcome to Workpower s disability employment service. We look forward to working together with you to create your personal employment pathway.
