| Choosing Your Path, Disclosure: It's a Personal Decision |

Choices may include 'Do I need to disclose my disability', ''when do I disclose my disability', 'how do I disclose my disability', 'what are my rights', 'do I have responsibilities when I disclose'. Employers and educators may also be challenged in relation to their role and responsibilities when a person discloses their disability. |

| Career Moves |
The Career Moves web portal is a key initiative of the NSW Board of Vocational Education and Training. The Board identified the pressing need for consolidated and purpose designed information for students with disability, their parents, carers and teachers to support career planning and transition to further education, training and employment. The Centre for Learning Innovation of the NSW Department of Education and Training has developed this new service with funding from the NSW Board of Vocational Education and Training and the support of key contributing agencies.
This web portal is designed to facilitate transitions to work and study for young people with a disability by helping them, their parents and teachers to access information on all the disability transition support programs available in NSW. |
