For Employers
Start with the work. Build understanding together.
Explore actual duties, workplace expectations and relevant preparation. Part-time, full-time and internship opportunities may be considered. Not every role qualifies for funded support; eligibility and funding must be confirmed where applicable.
A relationship-led conversation, not an open job board or a promise of staffing.
WHAT WE CLARIFY TOGETHER
Real duties
Everyday tasks, expectations and the work environment.
A workable schedule
Days, hours, routines and any flexibility before a placement is considered.
Workplace contacts & supervision
Employers provide ordinary supervision. Identify who explains the work, answers questions and stays connected with the support team.
