Preparation for Adulthood

ASDAN's "Preparing for Adulthood" programmes are a series of courses for young people that are structured around four key pathways: friends, relationships and community; employment; good health; and independent living. These programs aim to build personal, social, and work-related abilities through a person-centered approach. The current program, called "My Independence," offers a range of certificated courses designed to help learners achieve meaningful outcomes and transition to adult life.
