Better career opportunities for Victorians with disability in Geelong
Government and signatory representatives at the signing of the Geelong Inclusive Employment Compact.
Four major Geelong employers have committed to improving employment outcomes for people with disability in the region.
They have signed the Geelong Inclusive Employment Compact, which is an initiative of The Gordon Centre of Excellence in Disability Inclusion.
The 4 foundation partners to the compact are:
- Transport Accident Commission (TAC)
- WorkSafe Victoria
- National Disability Insurance Agency
- Barwon Health.
Together with the TAFE, the partners will work to strengthen pathways from training into employment. They will build their understanding of the needs of workers with disability.
Ideas and models generated through the compact can be used by TAFEs and industry across Victoria. Activities the partners will work on include:
- improving inclusive recruitment
- job design
- onboarding and early employment support
- workplace adjustments
- student transition pathways.
The Centre of Excellence in Disability Inclusion is redefining what it means to deliver inclusive vocational education. It is driving better outcomes for students across all Victoria’s TAFEs.
We're proud to support the new centre, which has received an investment of $36 million.
