What comes next after school for your neurodiverse teenager?
School Leaver Employment Support (SLES) at Diverse Pathways
Empowering neurodiverse young people for life after school
At Diverse Pathways, we specialise in providing School Leaver Employment Support (SLES) for autistic, ADHD, and neurodivergent young people, as well as those living with disability. Our goal is to guide and support school leavers as they transition from high school into employment, further education, and independent adulthood.
📍 Based on the Central Coast NSW, our SLES programs are run in small groups from our beautiful, accessible property in Mardi, designed to be calm, safe, and inclusive.
💼 What’s included in our SLES program?
Our holistic, NDIS-funded program focuses on both employment preparation and real-world life skills. Over 10-week terms (2 days per week), participants engage in:
✅ Work-readiness training
✅ Goal setting and personal development
✅ Communication, teamwork, and confidence building
✅ Life skills (budgeting, travel training, daily routines)
✅ Hands-on activities: cooking, gardening, creative projects
✅ Industry tasters and community engagement
✅ Resume writing and mock interviews
✅ Social inclusion and peer connection
🌱 We support young people to explore their strengths, discover interests, and build the confidence to pursue meaningful work and independent living.
