🦘 What if the things your young person loves could be the start of their working life?

Meet Malcolm. Every Monday and Wednesday, he works at Mount Evelyn Zoo — feeding the animals, helping around the grounds and checking the job board to see what needs doing next. His favourite animal? The koala, “because they sleep all day.” 🐨

At Support 4 Employment, we started with what Malcolm loves and what he takes pride in. Then we built on it, one skill at a time:

📚 Learning new skills: tasks like preparing the animals’ food were tricky at first, and now they get easier every shift
🦘 Persistence: “I keep trying and I do my best”
📋 Initiative: checking the board to find his next job
🤝 Belonging: he’s made friends with the team, and seeing them at work is one of his favourite things
💪 Confidence: “It has also helped me build confidence in my own way”

Today, Malcolm shows up twice a week ready for the day, and he’s already thinking about his next step.

His advice for anyone who’s unsure? “It is not too hard to get started, and you can learn as you go.”

📸 When learning starts with a personal interest, it creates room for someone’s voice to be heard.

At Support 4 Employment, our blogging activities give participants a space to explore what they love, express their views and share their knowledge with the community.

For David, that interest is photography. In “200 Years of Photography”, he explores how images and technology have changed the way we capture and understand our world.

There is valuable learning behind a finished article. Choosing what to include, organising ideas, checking information and considering feedback all offer opportunities to practise skills with a meaningful purpose. Checking facts and explaining ideas clearly also helps build credibility as a writer.

This reflects our approach to supporting individual interests, choice and practical learning. It connects with capabilities in S4E’s Participant Capability Framework, including learning new skills, self-awareness, self-advocacy, confidence and receiving feedback.

David’s blog gives him a public platform for his perspective and a finished piece of work to share and build on. We’re pleased to introduce it to our community. 💙
