Many parents and carers tell us the same thing:
"My child wants to work, but they don't know what job they want or where to begin."
The good news is that this is completely normal.
Not knowing exactly what career path to follow doesn't mean someone isn't ready to start exploring employment. In fact, the first step is often understanding strengths, interests and goals rather than choosing a specific job title.
Some helpful questions to start with include:
✅ What activities do they enjoy?
✅ What skills come naturally to them?
✅ What kind of work environment suits them best?
✅ What are they interested in learning more about?
✅ What would meaningful employment look like for them?
Every employment journey is different. Some people know exactly what they want to do, while others discover new opportunities as they build skills, confidence and experience.
Inclusive Employment Australia, delivered by ProActiv People in partnership with Autism SA, provides autism-specific employment support to help autistic adults explore their strengths, prepare for work, connect with employers and access ongoing support throughout their employment journey.
Looking for local support? Services are available across Adelaide, including Christies Beach, Salisbury and Gawler.
