Do you know any young tech savvy NDIS participants?
Any young person over 16 years old can apply to become a Youngster. Candidates go through our recruitment process that is based on the role requirements. If they are successful they receive a paid role. For many, this is their first professional job.
If a young person wishes to become a Youngster, but lacks particular skills required for the role, they can be referred to our Employment Skills Program as an alternative to general recruitment. Find out more here.
