Step one: Contact Employ Me
Do you fit into one of the groups above?
Are you looking to find employment or do want to build your confidence and work readiness?
Participation usually takes 8-10 hours, however it can take 20 hours or more in some cases. Do you have the time available to undertake the Employ Me journey?
If you answered yes to these questions, you can apply to participate in Employ Me. Call or email to let us know you are interested, or ask a support person to do this for you. If you heard about Employ Me through one of our Project Partners, you can contact them to say you are interested.
Step two: A friendly discussion with Project staff
Project staff will make a time to catch up with you. We will explain the process, answer your questions and check your eligibility. It is essential we hold this discussion so you understand what is involved prior to submitting your application to participate in Employ Me.
Step 3: Fill in the application form
We can support you to complete this form or you can work through it alone. There are fifteen questions that check that you are eligible, tell us a bit about your background and make sure you have enough time available to participate.
