Potentia Career Readiness Program
Bringing professional and disability-confident, work ready talent to your organisation
Our deliberate, structured approach combines practice, learning and self-awareness to enhance personal confidence and professional behaviour.
Delivered by lived experience professionals, our disability awareness coaching for line managers and talent with a disability elevates equitable employment opportunities.
This program showcases the abilities of people with disabilities to hiring managers in an obligation-free setting that challenges common assumptions and performance stigmas
Our program boosts participants’ chances of meaningful employment by showcasing their strengths, confidence, and professional behaviours, giving your organisation first access to emerging talent. Those not placed internally are promoted through our talent division, expanding opportunities that turn learning into earning.
The Potentia Career Readiness Program was incredibly valuable, boosting my professional and personal growth through essential training like CV preparation interview techniques and developing a growth mindset, preparing me to be work ready. A special thanks to Bradshaw LeRoux Consulting for creating a supportive environment that enables people with disabilities to thrive and demonstrate their full capability in the workplace.
