ClubsACT CLUBSACTION MARCH 22

ClubsACT and Koomarri partner to train and employ young Canberrans ClubsACT has recently consolidated a new working relationship with Koomarri and we hope this new partnership will provide a platform to better assist the employment of young people with an intellectual disability Canberra in the hospitality sector. As an organisation that values and promotes community participation, ClubsACT supports the Koomarri initiative to find meaningful employment for people with a disability while also building organisational knowledge and skills to create an accessible and inclusive workplace. The proposed program will provide participants and our members with access to an employment and training framework that can be tailored to their individual circumstances and level of disability confidence. ClubsACT will provide the expertise and networking opportunities required to expand the program across the ACT and assist our member clubs to demonstrate their leadership in this area. We look forward to working with the Koomarri team in improving employment outcomes for people with a disability in Canberra.
