Teens Work Know-How Program
Transition to Work Know-How Program

Early Participant Application for 2025-26

Join Our Teens Work Know-How Program: Your Opportunity to Shine

Are you or someone you know a student, and ready to be supported in taking the next step towards transitioning from School into the Workforce? We’re thrilled to invite you to express your early interest in our Teens Work Know-How Program, running in 2025. This expression of interest page will remain open from now until 2026! This will allow us to showcase community need.

This early application will help us in proactively managing our program to ensure its the best it can be for all, and in our grant applications and advocacy work. Your early efforts are supporting us to keep this program funded, and our community supported. 

Please see below possible dates for the 2026 program!

Why This Program Matters

Our Teens Work Know-How Program is more than just a series of workshops—it’s a community-driven initiative designed to empower neurodiverse teens with the skills and confidence they need to thrive in the workplace. Here’s why this program is crucial:

• Empowering Futures: We provide the tools and support to help neurodiverse teens navigate the professional world with confidence. This program is tailored to highlight and harness their unique strengths. 
  
  
• Building Stronger Communities: By focusing on individual abilities and fostering an inclusive environment, we are building a community where everyone can contribute and succeed.  Jacob, our Program Manager, knows firsthand, "a lot of learning for our cohort is helping them cut through the jargon, explaining the first principles, the Why behind the actions taken, and being able to understand and mentor their curiosity".
  
  
• Advocating for Change: Your involvement helps us collect valuable data that showcases the impact and ROI of neurodiverse talent, how educators and employers can best support, harness and train your talents, and helping all parties understand how the spectrum may speak in a place of work. 
  
  This evidence is critical for securing future funding and expanding our reach and services to community, and more importantly, employers are businesses, this helps us showcase with tangible data, supported by our industry stakeholders, the long-term results of employing our community. The earlier our cohort understand themselves, their place on the spectrum, only then can they support, or be supported
  
  

Eligibility Criteria

To participate in the Teens Work Know-How Program, applicants must meet the following criteria:

• Age: Must be within the legal working age of 15- 18 by the time the program round starts.
• School Enrollment: Must be enrolled in secondary school or through the Home Schooling Network (HEN).
• Commitment: Must be able to meet the scheduled requirements of the program.
• School Support: Must have the school’s knowledge and signature for work experience placement to be included as part of the participant's school VET (Vocational Education and Training) learning.

How Your Participation Makes a Difference

1. Early Access: By expressing your interest now, you’ll be prioritized for onboarding in our final round of the current grant extension in 2025.
2. Future Notifications: You’ll be among the first to hear about additional funding and new programs from 2025-2026 if we receive further funding.
3. Program Development: Your early application helps us understand community needs and develop diverse program options, including school curriculum integration, holiday programs, and/ or online courses.

Real Stories, Real Impact

Our program isn’t just about skills; it’s about changing lives. Here is a story from our Team that highlight the social value of our work:

• Community Voices: One of our participants, "Emma", shared how the program helped her build confidence in a way that traditional approaches in school didn’t. She learned to speak to her unique strengths to feel more confident in job interviews and the transition process, understanding that what made her a leader in her basket ball team, and her love for sport, is why she is fit for the role; not because of her Resume. This participant then went off to work in a sports store at DFO.
  
  Another student, "Samantha" also suffered from stress related/undiagnosed tics, something that Jacob, due to his Tourette Syndrome understood the self consciousness of. Both of them, not being around many other "Tickers" connected, this report, this shared understanding, allowed for Sam to take of the mask, to transition from the timid shy girl who came in, feeling like her ticks would make her unable to achieve her goals, to one of the stand out students in our cohort. This preconceived mindset was brought to a halt; when she saw someone, doing exactly what she felted would never be possible. That reprograming of her believes, through seeing it with their own eyes, and being understood, was shared to be more impactful then any information, and a deeply impactful moment for both, and our program so far.  
  

Our ILC Commitment

Since 2019, supported by an ILC grant, we’ve faced challenges but remain dedicated to our mission; to deliver the Teens Work Know-How Program.

Despite the hurdles, including those from COVID-19, we’ve persevered, and pivoted through these challenges with the support of our community and stakeholders.
We continued to focus on leading by example, employing more lived experience team members, and exceeding past outcomes.

• Showcase Unique Talents: Highlight the skills and abilities of neurodiverse teens.
• Secure Essential Funding: Use collected data to advocate for extended or new grants.

Job Coaching Program

Participant Application

AV Job Coaching Program

After a successful pilot program offering complimentary coaching to our community during the COVID lockdown periods of 2020 and 2021, Aspergers Victoria (AV) has continued to refine and grow its Job Coaching Program over the past few years—making steady improvements every step of the way. We are excited to now offer fee-for-service coaching to support autistic and neurodivergent adults in navigating employment pathways.

Why Choose AV’s Job Coaching?

• Lived Experience & Peer Mentorship: All AV coaches, staff, and volunteers bring an authentic understanding of autism. Our Programs Coordinator and Programs Manager both have lived experience, ensuring that the values of acceptance, respect, and empowerment guide every aspect of our service.
• Strengths-Based Methodology: AV Job Coaching focuses on your unique strengths, helping you identify suitable career paths and develop practical strategies—rather than providing prescriptive “treatment.”
• Career & Workplace Support: From clarifying your career priorities, to improving your résumé or preparing for interviews, to talking through team or social dynamics at work, we tailor every session to meet your personal needs and goals.

Who Can Apply?

• Age Requirement: Applicants must be 18 years or older.
• Neurodivergent Focus: We welcome applications from independently capable autistic individuals, and those who identify with similar neurodivergent profiles.
• Membership: Both members and non-members can apply. If you proceed beyond the initial discovery session, a current AV membership is required to continue coaching.

What Does Coaching Involve?

Our World of Work Job Coaching empowers you to implement positive change in your life and work. Unlike counselling or therapy, which often focus on remediation and problem-solving, coaching is forward-looking—emphasizing self-insight, self- action, and skill-building.

Common coaching topics include:

• Clarifying your career direction or next steps.
• Job search essentials: résumés, cover letters, and interview practice.
• Overcoming barriers and building resilience at work (e.g., burnout, team conflicts, accommodations).
• Strategizing how to communicate your needs to managers or coworkers.
• Executive function support (e.g., organization, planning, time management).

How Our Coaching Works

1. Discovery Session: We start with a complimentary call or online meeting to ensure a good coach-participant fit.
2. Coaching Sessions: Coaching is available in blocks of three sessions (each ~45 minutes). Depending on your preference or location, sessions can be:
   • Online via Zoom (preferred method).
   • Face-to-Face in the Melbourne area.
3. Cost: AUD $450 for three sessions.
   • NDIS participants may be able to use plan funds for these sessions.
4. Continuous Improvement: Our dedicated Programs Coordinator ( peer experience )  and Programs Manager  (lived experience) work closely with AV coaches to refine the coaching approach, ensuring it remains flexible, relevant, individualized, and supportive for all participants.

How to Apply

1. Online Application:
   • Click “Register” (or the link provided) to fill out the Coaching Program Application Form.
   • Upon successful submission, you will receive an automatic confirmation email and we’ll add your name to our coaching database.
2. Await Contact:
   • When a coaching space becomes available, we’ll be in touch to schedule your discovery session.
   • Please note: We often receive a high volume of interest, so there may be a waiting period.
3. Next Steps & Membership:
   • If you decide to continue beyond the discovery session, you’ll need to hold a current AV membership.
