Mini Woolies and Retail Experience

Join our new 4 week program

St.Giles Launceston is now home to Mini Woolies!

Mini Woolies replicate a Woolworths supermarket on a smaller scale, designed as a learning and educational tool for those looking to gain employment and life skills.

Currently we offer a four-week program for people with disabilities to learn vital skills that equip them for the workforce and help them gain confidence navigating life in the community.

Skills gained by program participants include:

  • Interpersonal communication skills for retail customer service and conversational engagement
  • Real world skills of literacy, numeracy, and register operation
  • Product handling and stock management of groceries, fresh produce and perishable foods
  • Building confidence, independence and preparedness for the future
  • Experiential exposure to build knowledge and familiarity of real world environments

This program is suited to participants with funding for School Leaver Employment Programs (SLES), or participants wanting to build capacity to find a job.

This is the first Mini Woolies in Tasmania open to participants who have already finished their formal education, opening up learning opportunities to a large group of Tasmanians with disabilities.
