In The Works...
We are pleased to inform you of the upcoming opening of a new course;
Group sessions in sign language, pondering experiences from the world of employment!
The sessions will be led by a social worker who is also a sign language interpreter.
The goal is to give the women the tools, to maintain and succeed at, their jobs.
They were developed based on our experience with people who communicate in sign language, in our work department; in employment training, work placement, and guidance in the workplace.
The course is open to women in the wider community.
