Employment & Education
The Employment and Education Unit coordinates information and tasks associated with the employment/education program. The tasks involve keeping statistics of members working and studying, upkeep of members employment files, operating employment database, job searching, and collating information on educational faculties.
The Employment and Education Unit can assist members to enrol in courses in the community. Furthering your education may help in gaining skills to be used in the work force. Canefields offers support and resources to members wishing to further their education.
Transitional Employment
The Transitional Employment Program allows members who lack work experience, confidence or skills for open employment, the opportunity to work at real jobs for real pay. Members are given unlimited opportunities at TE regardless of past work history or unsuccessful attempts. There is no such thing as failure at TE.
Characteristics of Transitional Employment:
- 6 to 9 months temporary work
- Members are paid at award wages
- Members complete TE work at the employer's place of business
- All TE work is entry level and does not require qualifications
- An absence of work history and or hospitalisation will not affect a member's chance to obtain a TE
- No resume or interview required (selection of TE workers is done by clubhouse staff)
Transitional Employers
Several employers are benefiting from all that Transitional Employment has to offer Canefields currently has partnerships with several employers including. Wetfix, Interlink Housing and Support, Langs Timber and Hardware and Queensland Health. Thank-you to these employers who have provided wonderful employment opportunities for our members.

Supported Employment
Supported Employment is designed to assist members to obtain and keep their own employment, of their choice (as opposed to Transitional Employment which, is temporary). We can offer help with resume writing, writing applications and interview preparation. Canefields also provides support to members once they find employment. Support while in employment is primarily provided by staff and is based on relationships and communication with employers and members. Disclosure of illness to employer is your choice.
