**THIS OPPORTUNITY IS FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY. **
Jigsaw is a social enterprise that trains and transitions people with disability into mainstream employment. Jigsaw trainees use NDIS funding to support them through the Jigsaw employment pathway.
We offer a training pathway where trainees build work-readiness skills and are supported to transition into mainstream employment once they are job-ready. Our approach means participants don’t have to go through a different service provider for each stage of the training, experience, and transition pathway, and can progress at their own pace.
This is a great opportunity for a student with disability wanting to gain hands-on experience, develop employment capabilities and skills in business services.
