​

Greener Futures is Enable’s employability skills program aimed to support young people with disabilities facing barriers to getting a job, through providing suitable skills and training in a supportive and inclusive environment.

​

The program runs for up to 80 hours over a period of time that suits the student groups from Specialist schools, post-school NDIS participants (bring your own support worker if you have one) and other community programs referrals.

 

Program participants can engage in:

• Electronic Waste disassembly, sorting, and dispatching of parts and commodities

• Computer Equipment testing, refurbishing, data destruction and degaussing of hard drives

• Warehousing and Logistics including pick, pack, and dispatch

 

Employability skills-based activities may focus on things like building social and interpersonal skills, self-esteem, taking responsibility, working in a team, self-motivation, health, and safety in the workplace as well as specific industry-based technical skills.

 

Ideal candidates will:

• Have a genuine interest in IT/Computer Refurbishing and/or dismantling E-Waste, online retailing, and warehousing including pick, pack, and dispatch.

• Be an existing NDIS participant (engaging with your own support person), seeking an activity to gain employability skills or an option for Social and community participation.

• Must hold a current or willingness to obtain a Working With Children Check and obtain steel-capped safety boots.

• Attend a site visit to check out the Enable warehouse and work environment.
