Mentoring For Students With A Disability

The Willing and Able Mentoring (WAM) Program has been developed to provide you, a student/job seeker who has a disability, the opportunity to showcase your talents and gather essential information and experience for that vital transition from education to the competitive world of employment.

The WAM program is designed to train and match selected students/job seekers with mentors in career areas relevant to each person's aspirations.   You, as a mentee, would be expected to attend several meetings (a minimum of 8 hours in total) with your mentor, who will provide advice, insight and a range of opportunities to enhance your knowledge of your chosen field of work.   You would also be required to attend a Training session at the start of the program, and a debriefing and certificate presentation event at the conclusion of the program.

A successful WAM project has been run for a number of years.
