Top 5 actions for parents and carers

This guide provides parents and carers with five action steps to help young people with disability build employability and transition successfully into employment or further training. Developed as part of the Building Ability Through Career Management (BACM) project, it empowers families to take an active, practical role as career development allies. 

Family support and community connections are fundamental drivers of employment success for young people with disability. The resource highlights that successful transitions depend on early identification of personal strengths, active engagement with local service providers, effective use of personal networks, and understanding available structural supports.
