Skill Development
As the saying goes, no two people are alike. So why should the way we learn be any different?
At Peoplecraft, we believe that every individual has their own unique learning style. That’s why we offer one-on-one personalised skill development to cater for each person’s individual needs.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to brush up on your existing skills, Peoplecraft will be there to support you every step of the way.
Personalised skill development can be tailored to help participants achieve their NDIS goals and provides participants with the opportunity to learn at their own pace and in a way that suits their individual learning styles.
Our skills development and training team leader, Sue Bourke, is a skilled educator, with many years’ experience and has drawn on this experience to develop programs that can be modified to the individuals specific learning style and paced at a rate that is just right for the participant. Sue also has extensive experience when it comes to disability (including lived experience) and is eager to create a program that is just right for you.
So, what are you waiting for? Get in touch today and start developing the skills you need to succeed!
Support Coordination
At People Craft Supports, we recognise that there’s more to your journey than the NDIS! Not only do our coordinators know the NDIS system and will help you understand your plan and funding, but we will also look past this, at the bigger picture. We will help you to set personal goals (beyond your NDIS goals), to focus on the things that matter to you across all areas of your life and will link you with community, mainstream and other government services.
