WorkAid - Supported Employment Scheme
The WorkAid scheme aims to match adults with learning disabilities and/or autism with suitable work placements and includes help for employers to get the most from their valuable and productive new employee.
Candidates work through a tailored programme to prepare them for the world of work including skills training, assistance with job applications and supported inductions with employers.
The WorkAid programme empowers individuals by raising their self-confidence, independence and self-esteem while challenging perceptions of disability in the workplace.
