Apprenticeships and traineeships for people living with disability, illness or injury
If you’re living with a disability, mental health condition, injury or treated illness, we can help you find the right qualification and pathway that’s right for you, too.
CoAct Connect is a leading not-for-profit employment services provider. Together with our national network of service partners, we deliver Inclusive Employment Australia (replacing Disability Employment Services), Workforce Australia and Workforce Australia – Transition to Work. These are government-funded programs that help job seekers connect to training, education and jobs.
You’re unique, so we make sure our support is too. We’re ready to help you find a training pathway to a job you enjoy and want to stay in. We offer flexible servicing, have local expertise and are connected to your community.
