What if meaningful employment for people with disability started with community, confidence, and real-world experience?

In this episode of the Impact Compass Podcast, I sit down with Helen from Empowering Abilities Together to unpack how a simple food trailer became the foundation for creating genuine employment pathways for young people with disability.

This conversation goes far beyond “finding a job.”

We dive into:
• Building confidence through micro progress
• Why retention matters more than quick placements
• The power of customised employment pathways
• Community inclusion and meaningful work
• Supporting participants one step at a time
• The challenges of balancing risk, growth, and opportunity

One of the biggest takeaways from this episode:

Sometimes employment doesn’t start with a resume.
Sometimes it starts with learning to answer the phone, turn up on time, and believe in yourself again.

Helen’s approach is practical, human, and deeply needed in the disability sector.
