Welcome to Engage to Change
The Engage to Change project is currently running across the whole of Wales to support young people aged 16-25 with a learning disability and/or autism into paid work placements lasting 6-12 months.
We aim to help over 1000 of these young people achieve their full potential by supporting them to gain experience in the workplace and develop transferable skills through a person-centred approach. To do this we are working with 800 employers over five years, offering one-to-one job coaching and specialist employment support to both young person and employer.
This project is made possible through funding from the National Lottery Community Fund in partnership with Welsh Government.

Ymweliad hyfryd i Ynys Môn ddoe ble roedd staff Gofal Springholme yn awyddus i ganmol Billie a faint o gynnydd mae hi wedi’i wneud yn y swydd! Mae Billie nawr wedi bod mewn cyflogaeth llawn amser am nifer o fisoedd yn dilyn lleoliad gwaith #EngageToChange gyda cymorth @agoriadcyf

A lovely visit to Anglesey yesterday where Springholme Care staff were bursting with praise for Billie and how far she has come on the job! Billie has now been in full-time paid employment for a number of months following her #EngageToChange placement supported by @agoriadcyf 👏
