INCLUSIVE LIVES: POSSIBILITY TO REALITY PROJECT
What do you want to be when you grow up?
This is a question that every child is confronted with – and a lot of adults still don’t have a good answer to! It generated a lot of discussion in the Work Experience Peer Network recently.
Choosing a job you can succeed in is about figuring out what you like and can become good at and what you don’t like. It’s about figuring out what sets you up for success and what works against success for you. But how do you start figuring it out? Give different things a try.

By joining a sports club, a choir or a dance class, you could:
- meet new people with a common interest
- develop new skills
- learn more about how you learn and perform best
- learn from other people and their life experiences
- discover what you contribute to a group that others value
- develop teamwork skills like cooperation, giving and receiving feedback, taking direction from a leader and valuing different contributions
Those experiences can all come up in the workplace, so they help people prepare for it, with room to make mistakes and try again. Time to start exploring.
Come along to our Creating an Inclusive Life online workshop on June 24 and 25, 9am-1pm AEST where we will touch on these and many other ways of building an inclusive life in your community.
