The BGK LLEN, Inner Eastern LLEN, Berendale School, Montague School and nearly 20 other disability employment, training and youth organisations have developed Ticket to Work throughout 2011.  Ticket to Work is a SBAT program for young people with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities.  For more information download a program flyer or read more about this program on the 'partnerships' section of our website.

Within the BGK LLEN region, a number of Berendale School students with disabilities will be selected to take part in this pilot program.  Ticket to Work will match students with employers, enabling them to take part in an SBAT for between 1 – 2 years.  Students will commence with their employer in early 2012 and will undertake the SBAT training and employment as part of their VCAL.

This program was developed to increase the work, training and post-school employment options of young people with a disability.  Research shows that young people with a disability have a lot to offer businesses and when matched with a suitable employer this can lead to a wide range of benefits for the business and have a significant difference in the life of a student once they leave school.

If you are an employer and would like to offer an SBAT to a Berendale School student and/or are interested in finding out more about this pilot program please contact Fiona Waugh (BGK LLEN) on 9584 8845 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
