Stages Toward Employment Pathways
For people living with disability, finding meaningful employment can open the doors to possibility: independence from their family, financial independence, friendships, a sense of purpose and improved self-esteem.
But we’re not all ready to finish school one day, and start work the next. We need self-confidence, self-awareness and we need to learn how to interact with others in order to flourish. Rocky Bay, your partner in possibility, can help you work on the skills you need to find the career that’s right for you.

The S.T.E.P. program, or Stages Towards Employment Pathways, uses an individualised approach to transition people aged 16-23 from school to employment, by building the personal skills you need to start your employment journey.
You will learn to build your:
- Confidence

FAQ
Stages Towards Employment Pathways (S.T.E.P.) is a program designed to help young people living with disability to develop the personal tools and skills they need to work towards meaningful employment. The program does not provide employment, but instead helps you identify the skills you need to improve, as well as the things that drive you – your interests and passions.
S.T.E.P. is ideal for people aged 16-23 who need some assistance with confidence and personal communication skills. It is also ideal for school leavers who are unsure of what their next step might be.
