Seeking participants for the Infinity X Career Program (Regional)!
Applications are open to the Infinity X Career Program (Regional), our career development program that supports members of the LGBTQIA+ and disability communities in carving out new career opportunities!
We recently wrapped up the first round of the Infinity X Career Program – an initiative designed for members of the LGBTQIA+ and disability communities to support career development. Thanks to the Pride Foundation Australia 2024 Large Grant Round, we’re excited to announce that a future iteration of this program is already in the works – Infinity X Career Program (Regional).
This program is designed to empower LGBTQIA+ individuals living in regional and rural Australia, with a focus on providing career development and exploration tools to individuals with experiences of disability, mental health challenges, and those who are neurodivergent. We’re looking for a new cohort of participants eager to discover new career opportunities! If you – or anyone you know – are ready to take the first steps toward a dream career, we strongly encourage you to apply by filling out the application form.
The Infinity X Career Program (Regional) will commence in March 2025. This intensive 6-week program will involve once weekly 2-hour sessions to equip, empower, and support participants in stepping into the careers and opportunities of their dreams. Sessions will be held online.
This program is free. However, an application process applies.
Eligibility criteria:
- This program has two age streams – over 18 and under 18. This means people of any age can apply!
- This program is open to people who identify as LGBTQIA+ and have a disability (including mental health conditions, neurodivergence, and chronic illness or pain conditions).
- You must live in regional Australia.
- You can attend online sessions for 2 hours per week for 6 weeks.
I feel more confident that there is a unique and possible path for me to find or even create a job that would not only be somewhere I could get the accommodations I need, but also be fulfilling and a place I would want to work.
