catalyst Employment Outcomes (CEO) assists young people leaving school, and those aged up to 22 years, with funding allocated in their NDIS Plans, to develop the knowledge and skills needed to find their first job. Funding is individually allocated through the NDIS School Leaver Employment Supports. The catalyst CEO approach provides intensive, individualised supports, offering a flexible mix of accredited training, small group learning opportunities and one to one individualized support. Job Seekers commit to one day of accredited training and one day of School Leaver Employment Supports each week. Work tasters and placements may be organised on other days of the week.
