BRACE

Building Resilience and Confidence for Employment

    The Skill Engineer wants to ensure that all students with diverse learning needs undertaking a VET subject in Year 11 or 12 and who need preparation for work placement continue to receive urgent actions that consider their specific need for accessibility, adaptability, and individualised workplace learning plans. 

    The Skill Engineer’s experience with students with diverse learning needs over the COVID years, has been that many students are unable to undertake work placement due to high anxiety, fear of contracting COVID and poor understanding of industry expectations whilst they are on a work placement.

    Outcomes for BRACE participants:

    • Increase number of students with diverse learning needs attending and lasting in their planned 35-hour work placement
    • Increased rate of a successful and rewarding work placement and industry experience for students with diverse learning needs
    • Students with diverse learning needs to acquire skills to support their engagement with work placement including managing anxiety, attending to mental health issues, setting goals, building resilience
    • The skills acquired through BRACE can be used not just on work placement but are tools for life
    • Introduction of students with diverse learning needs to operating and functional workplaces who have work practices that support diversity and inclusiveness in employment.

    The BRACE program was funded by the Regional Industry Education Partnership, NSW Training Services.
