Training and Mentoring
Orange Basket Community Services runs industry-related training such as neurodivergent first aid courses.
We also provide a 6-10 week mentoring program for people living with disabilities to gain and maintain employment. Mentoring can provide a participant with motivation and focus on the job, via direct and regular encouragement and feedback. Every person is different so the mentoring program and individual supports are tailored to what is applicable.
The outcomes of mentoring are many and varied, and can provide participants with a capacity-building report required for an upcoming NDIS review, or for the implementation of a behaviour support plan.
Orange Basket Community Services is an Australian Disability Enterprise (ADE), providing employment for people living with disabilities who need significant support to work.
