Mainstream Employment

Inclusive mainstream (or open) employment means working in regular businesses and industries alongside people of all abilities. It is about more than just having a job — it is about gaining independence, developing new skills, earning your own income, and building confidence.

Whether you are just starting your career or ready to take the next step, our team provides the guidance and support you need to make it happen.
