This guide identifies best practices for collaboration that support smoother transitions from school to work for students with disability. It shows how the Ticket to Work model strengthens school to work transitions for young people with disability by fostering partnerships between schools, families, employers, disability services and community organisations. It emphasises that collaboration reduces duplication, expands career opportunities and improves outcomes with participants more likely to finish school and gain employment or training.

The Ticket to Work model brings together schools, families, employers, disability services and community organisations to create coordinated, student-centred pathways into employment and training.
