The Future Choices Virtual Transition Expo for Students with Disabilityis a unique opportunity to continue the delivery of our annual expos, and assist those unable to offer events in other Regional, Rural and Remote areas of NSW/ACT due to COVID-19. The Future Choices Virtual Transition Expo is presented by Career Links in conjunction with the National Disability Coordination Officer Program, and NSW Department of Education Support Teachers (Transition).
This long-running transition Expo is the only event of its kind in the State, attracting over 150 local, state and interstate exhibitors including leading education and training providers. The event connects young people and tertiary graduates with disability to employment services, employers, education/training providers, apprenticeship/traineeship services, disability providers, and government services to help them make informed decisions about their future, and highlight the support that is available.
Career Links is a community focused, not-for-profit organisation servicing Newcastle and Lake Macquarie. Operating since 2000, we manage a range of programs, which connects young people with business, education and community.
You may not think of yourself as having a ‘disability’ but the definition is broad and includes learning disability, Autism Spectrum Disorder, medical conditions, mental illness, physical conditions, sensory impairments, intellectual disability, and more
When you have a disability or ongoing health condition there is additional planning required for the move post-study. This is the perfect opportunity for you to display and promote your service or business to a captive audience and to be a part of the business community supporting and working together with our youth and tertiary graduates.
This is a crucial time for these students, who are ready to make decisions.
