Job-Ready Seminars

Employment help for transgender people, developed and delivered by transgender people.

A lot of transgender Victorians struggle to maintain stable and consistent work. Transgender Victoria is partnering with Australia’s first LGBTIQA+-specific employment program, Expression Australia, to deliver a seminar specifically aimed at helping transgender people find employment. 

 

At the TGD Job-Ready Seminars, Keira Leike and Natalie Moss - employment experts who are also part of the TGD community - will offer guidance on how to effectively search and apply for work opportunities. Facilitators Keira and Natalie will address employment related questions with a specific focus on challenges faced by trans and gender diverse people This is also an opportunity to learn about free services that are available to assist you in career-building and job-hunting, and channels for self-referrals.
