Deafblind Employability Project

Centre of Excellence – Deafblind (CoE – DB)

The aim of the Deafblind Employability Project was to support people with deafblindness to gain employment and raise awareness about deafblindness. In order to achieve this, the project consisted of train the trainer training for people with deafblindness in how to run deafblind awareness training.

The project involved people with deafblindness in accessible training, to enhance their skills in:

• Time management

• Organisational skills

• Knowledge of business terms

• Receiving and delivering training

• How to write an invoice

The second component focuses on employers of people with disability. By reaching out to people with deafblindness to deliver deafblind awareness training, employers learn how to create a more accessible work environment, and decrease barriers to employment that people with deafblindness often face.

If you have any questions or queries, please don’t hesitate to contact the team on deafblind@ableaustralia.org.au.
