Set Employment Goals That Support Your Future Success
Setting clear employment goals is an important part of preparing for work and building greater independence. Under the NDIS, employment goals help guide the supports and skill development participants need to move towards meaningful work, volunteering, or further training. This guide shares practical NDIS employment goals examples and explains how the right goals can improve confidence, workplace skills, and long-term employment opportunities while supporting greater independence in everyday life.

Why Employment Goals Matter in an NDIS Plan?
Employment goals do more than focus on getting a job—they help participants develop the confidence, independence, and practical skills needed to succeed in everyday life. Including employment goals in your NDIS plan helps ensure your supports are tailored to your long-term aspirations and personal strengths.
Well-defined employment goals can help participants:
- Build confidence in new situations
- Develop communication and workplace skills
- Increase independence in daily routines
- Prepare for volunteering or paid employment
- Work towards long-term career goals at their own pace
Employment goals should be meaningful, achievable, and centred around what the participant wants to accomplish. As skills grow and circumstances change, these goals can also be reviewed and updated to reflect new opportunities.
Examples of Employment Goals for Your NDIS Plan
Employment goals should reflect each participant’s strengths, interests, and long-term aspirations. Rather than choosing generic goals, it’s important to focus on skills that support greater independence, confidence, and readiness for future employment. These goals can be reviewed and updated over time as participants develop new abilities and move closer to their career objectives.
Some common NDIS employment goals examples include:
- Improving workplace communication and teamwork skills.
- Building confidence for job interviews and speaking with employers.
- Learning to travel independently to and from work.
- Developing time management and workplace routines.
- Building computer and digital skills for employment.
- Preparing for volunteering or work experience opportunities.
- Strengthening problem-solving and decision-making skills.
- Managing work-related anxiety and building resilience.
These examples provide a starting point for creating personalised employment goals that align with a participant’s NDIS plan and future career aspirations.

Build Skills for Future Employment
Every employment journey begins with small, achievable goals. Janalli Services works alongside participants to develop personalised employment goals, build practical skills, and increase confidence through tailored NDIS supports.
Turning Employment Goals into Everyday Skills
Employment goals become achievable when participants practise them through everyday activities. Building routines, improving communication, and gaining real-world experience all contribute to greater work readiness and independence.
Examples include:
- Following daily routines
- Building communication skills
- Increasing confidence
- Participating in community activities
To build these practical skills, explore our NDIS Innovative Community Participation service, where participants can develop confidence, independence, and workplace-ready skills through meaningful community experiences.
Building Confidence Before Entering the Workforce
Confidence plays an important role in achieving employment goals. With the right support, participants can overcome challenges, improve self-belief, and feel more prepared for workplace opportunities.
Support can help participants:
- Manage workplace anxiety
- Build self-confidence
- Improve motivation
- Develop resilience
