Supported Transitional Employment
​
What is Supported Transitional Employment?
​
Having a job isn’t just about earning an income – it can help to build
confidence, develop skills and widen friendships. However, finding and
sustaining employment can be tough. We believe that anyone who wants to work should have the opportunity to do so, and in some cases community employment isn’t always the most suitable.
​
Our Social Enterprises provide an opportunity to work in a meaningful job, while getting paid a competitive wage to gain and build skills to support individual employment goals.
