Getting job ready – transitioning to work
If you’re looking for disability employment opportunities, our transition to work programs can pave the way to your ideal job.
Each program is tailored to your needs, goals and aspirations and will assist you to reach your potential and secure a career in a field you love.
Finding a job
CPL’s Mylestones Employment is a registered Disability Employment Service provider (DES) that supports job seekers to find long term employment in jobs they love.
We support job seekers to create customised job plans based on their goals, skills and aspirations, and provide tailored pre-employment training like resume development, interview skills and more.
Working with us in supported employment
CPL doesn’t just help people find jobs, we also offer interesting and supportive employment opportunities to people with disability through our business initiatives.
Communication books and boards
Communication boards are devices used to support people who need help expressing themselves. The boards come in many forms, and can vary from a single sheet of card to a Pragmatic Organisation Dynamic Display (PODD) book which uses language and symbols to represent words and phrases.
At CPL, our supported employees at Mylestones Printing are involved in every step of creating these books, including production, design, and packaging.
Meet Shannon
“My advice is to look hard and really go for what you want. It’s hard to get yourself out there, but if you’ve got something in your mind then just go for it. Push yourself outside your comfort zone, it’s scary but the further out you go the easier it gets.”
– Shannon, FCS
