What is employment training?
Employment training through speech therapy helps adults build skills they need for study or work after finishing school. It focuses on practical, everyday skills that support confidence and independence in workplace settings.
Who it’s for
This support is designed for adults who want to get ready for employment or further training. It’s tailored to each person’s goals and may help those exploring different job pathways or aiming to strengthen workplace communication skills.
What the training covers
Depending on individual goals, training can include skills such as:
- Speaking clearly and professionally with colleagues and customers
- Preparing for job interviews
- Building confidence to ask for help or clarification
- Understanding work-related language and body language
- Writing skills for emails, resumes and everyday tasks
- Working as part of a team
- Using non-verbal communication appropriately (like eye contact and facial expressions)
How it supports study and training courses
Speech therapy can also assist people completing training like TAFE courses, helping make those learning environments more accessible and manageable.
