Thank you for your interest in our Aspergers Victoria Teens Work KnowHow Program.

Aspergers Victoria believes that our early career experiences build our life foundations. It is our vision that this exciting program provides our community with a pathway to understand themselves, the world of work, and their job readiness. The program is delivered in a way that is positive, empowering, practical and geared towards individual learning styles.

Participants in this program will leave with more career understanding, self-confidence and some useful tools to help them map out their own future in work.

The program will include parent / guardian communication as well so you can support the participants' progress. This program is designed to align with the Department of Education and Training requirements for work experience.

• AV members (non-members are welcome to add their name to the Expression of Interest, but you will need to be a current paid AV member to participate in the program).
• Able to participate independently (ie: without assistance from a parent / carer / support worker).

Program content

• Participants are matched with an AV job coach.

• Work experience placement will be with a host employer based in metropolitan Melbourne.

Proposed program dates

Round 1: Monday 17 April to Friday 14 July

Book Club: March - session two

New session added!

Due to popular demand, we have added a second session for the March Book Club discussing Ten Steps to Nanette, by Hannah Gadsby.

About the AV Book Club

If you enjoy reading fiction and would like to have an incentive to read more, expand your reading list, and to meet with others to share your thoughts and insights and to hear others' perspectives, consider joining the AV Book Club for your next literary adventure. We read and discuss work by autistic authors as well as non-autistic authors.

This month, we will discuss Ten Steps to Nanette, by Hannah Gadsby.

'There is nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself.' – Hannah Gadsby, Nanette

Gadsby's unique stand-up special Nanette was a viral success that left audiences captivated by her

blistering honesty and her ability to create both tension and laughter in a single moment. But while her worldwide fame might have looked like an overnight sensation, her path from open mic to the

global stage was hard-fought and anything but linear.

Ten Steps to Nanette traces Gadsby's growth as a queer person from Tasmania-where homosexuality was illegal until 1997-to her ever-evolving relationship with comedy, to her struggle with late-in-life diagnoses of autism and ADHD, and finally to the backbone of Nanette - the renouncement of self-deprecation, the rejection of misogyny, and the moral significance of truth-telling. Equal parts harrowing and hilarious, Ten Steps to Nanette continues Gadsby's tradition of confounding expectations and norms, properly introducing us to one of the most explosive, formative voices of our time.

Cost: FREE for AV members.
