Pace Mentoring Applications – OPEN NOW

Are you a student or jobseeker with disability, or do you know someone who is?

Positive Action towards Career Engagement (PACE Mentoring) connects students and jobseekers with disability with mentors from leading Australian businesses. It gives you an opportunity to develop your skills and confidence in a workplace setting. Previous mentors have come from organisations such as, ANZ Bank, Victoria Police, Bupa, The Attorney Generals Department, and Ashurst.

Mentoring Supports Curtis to Develop Key Employability Skills

“My main goal when I started PACE was to find a job. Simon helped me with my resume and gave me tools and tips to support my job search. We practiced mock interviews and he gave me some good practical feedback. The arrangement continued after the program concluded and I now see Simon once a month,” Curtis.

To read more about Curtis’s experience with the PACE Program, please visit our website.

How it works

You will be paired with an experienced professional who you will meet with six to eight times within a four-month period between August and December. The meetings last between one and two hours. You can discuss your career goals and aspirations, and get help to develop a plan for your personal and professional development.

Your Mentor will help you identity and reach your career development goals and build your confidence in a workplace environment. Meetings with your mentor may include:

• Reviewing resume and cover letters
• Mock interviews
• Networking with other professionals
• Building confidence
• Attending events and team meetings.

APPLY HERE before the end of June to be considered for the Spring 2018 cohort of PACE.

And that’s a wrap on Humans on the Autism Spectrum 2018!

From the team at I CAN Network:

Thank you to everyone who has joined our movement over the last month. We have loved bringing you Humans on the Autism Spectrum – sharing stories to create inclusive schools, workplaces and societies.

Your likes, comments, shares and contributions have helped our AWEtism Rethink reach thousands of people around Australia. With your help, we are driving real change across schools, workplaces and communities all over the country.

Look back on your favourite moments from the month of April at https://ican.network/humans/. What was your favourite story? Let us know – or better yet, share it with your friends and let them know!

Although the campaign is officially over, our work is not yet done.

We will continue to create networks that enable people on the Spectrum – but to do that, we need your help. Join us by donating or giving monthly, following us on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram and sharing our work with the world.

Plus, we’re looking for more stories of the Autism Spectrum to share throughout the year. Have you got a special talent you’d like to share with the world? Do you want to tell us your I CAN story? Email danielle@icannetwork.com.au and let us know all about you – we want to shine a spotlight on you!

Thank you for your ongoing support, whether through liking or sharing posts, or by donating.

Together, we are creating a world that benefits from embracing Autism.

Huge thanks,
The I CAN Team
