Have you felt frustrated by the barriers in employment faced as a young person with disability, or by the lack of access to exciting career and workplace opportunities? Are you passionate about public speaking, entrepreneurship and breaking into employment?
We are currently looking for PARTICIPANTS for this exciting and empowering project, with accessible training and resources to build young people with disabilities’ confidence and skills related to self-employment, entrepreneurship, and public speaking. UNLEASHED will enable young people to actively contribute to leading, shaping, and influencing the community's attitudes to inclusion and awareness of young people with disability in all areas of society!

📣 WHAT IS UNLEASHED 📣
_____________________________
UNLEASHED is an exciting new project launching in September 2020 by the Youth Disability Advocacy Network (YDAN). It is a FREE program that creates a unique opportunity for 20 young people with disability (YPWD) in Western Australia, to hear from experts with lived experience themselves! This online course, spanning three weeks of online contact, features modules specially curated to build YPWD's confidence and skills related to (self-)employment, entrepreneurship, and public speaking. At the end of the program, YDAN will work closely with all participants and assist in acquiring self-employment as a trained public speaker and entrepreneur.
YDAN recognises that young people with disability experience more discrimination and barriers than their non-disabled peers. That is why we are making it a priority to contract and commission experts and professionals with disabilities themselves.
