This week, 23-29 September, we’re celebrating National Week of Deaf People in Australia. It’s a week dedicated to recognising and honouring the Deaf community, aligning with International Week of Deaf People and International Day of Sign Languages.
Today, 12 September, is R U OK? Day, and the 2024 theme, ‘Ask R U OK? Any Day,’ reminds us that checking in with each other is important not just today, but every day. At Global Skills, our teams wore yellow to show our commitment to fostering supportive environments where everyone feels comfortable talking about mental health.
Health Care and Social Assistance is Australia’s largest industry. This can be attributed to several factors including an ageing population, more people with chronic conditions, increased health awareness, a focus on wellbeing and ongoing medical advancements. Since it employs the most people, it’s important for this industry to truly reflect the people it serves, including those with a disability.
When celebrating strength in independence Global Skills recognises the power of employment in helping people with disability achieve their full potential.
Last week, Global Skills had the privilege of participating in the Central Coast Future Choices Expo, presented by Career Links, and run in conjunction with the National Disability Coordination Officer Program and the NSW Department of Education Support Teachers.
