Employment Programme

This programme is available to graduates of our 9-month training programme at Flourish Café. Project Employ’s Employment Programme helps young neurodivergent adults with learning disabilities transition into paid, meaningful work. We support them in seeking jobs that align with their skills and interests.

Why Employers Should Work with Project Employ

Many employers are eager to build a more inclusive workforce but are unsure where to start. We help businesses overcome barriers by preparing job-ready graduates and offering ongoing support to ensure successful employment outcomes.
