Why Join The Ability Programme?

The Ability Programme is about providing person-centred and holistic coaching to people with physical disabilities. If you join our programme your Job Coach will focus on your ability and your goals. The programme will help you identify your pathway into further education, training or employment while working with you to become a confident, independent job-seeker or employee.

IWA understands that the people who will avail of this service each require different supports and no two people have the same goals, employment history, education, backgrounds and skills. We understand that while one person may be looking to discover what their skills and abilities are, another might want to find their ultimate, dream job. A person may even want to discuss further education and training options in their region to help them on their career journey.

The two Job Coaches will work with participants nationwide. The role of the Job Coach is to provide one to one coaching to enable programme participants to become an independent job seeker or employee. The development and progression that participants will have on the programme will be completely different for everyone, that’s the beauty of The Ability Programme.
