Traineeship program
The Crown Street Stables café traineeship program is an initiative of Council’s Disability Action Plan which aims to improve employment outcomes for people with disability.
This 12-week program supports local people with a disability to gain valuable on-the-job work experience in a café environment in a safe and respectful environment.
Throughout the program trainees are provided with support to explore their future employment options and prepare for paid employment.
With flexible working hours this program aims to improve long-term employment outcomes for people with disability.
If you are interested in applying for this program please contact us at: disability@mvcc.vic.gov.au
People with disability bring a range of valuable skills, qualifications and experience to the Australian workforce and we engage with external providers to assist with employment pathways for our graduates. Disability Employment Services (DES) support job seekers with disability and can help businesses when employing a person with a disability.
