Preparing to Work?
Preparing to enter the workforce marks a significant milestone in one’s life. Whether it be entering the workforce for the first time or re-entering after a gap, it can be an exciting yet daunting experiencing!
How can Occupational Therapy assist with preparing to work?
Occupational therapy plays a vital role in supporting individuals to join or rejoin the workforce, enhancing their employability and job satisfaction. Through personalised assessments and interventions, OTs identify strengths, address barriers, and develop strategies to overcome work-related challenges. They help individuals with physical, cognitive, or mental health conditions to build resilience, develop work-ready skills, and adapt to new work environments. By focusing on job analysis, task modification, and ergonomic adjustments, OTs empower individuals to secure and maintain meaningful employment, promoting economic independence, confidence, and overall well-being.
That‘s why LAS Occupational Therapy developed a 7-session occupational therapy package to support individuals with their employment goals.

- Work capacity assessment
- OT interventions
