Josh Lands Dream Job at the State Theatre Through Down Syndrome NSW’s Employment Connections Program
At Down Syndrome NSW, we believe everyone deserves the chance to pursue their passions and contribute meaningfully to their community. That’s why we’re so excited to share the story of Josh – a lifelong theatre enthusiast – who has just landed his dream job at one of Sydney’s most iconic venues, the State Theatre.
Through our Employment Connections program, Josh was matched with a role that perfectly aligns with his passion for the performing arts. This placement isn’t just about having a job – it’s about purpose, pride, and inclusion. The opportunity marks a major milestone for Josh and showcases what’s possible when inclusive employment is embraced.
The Employment Connections program works closely with both individuals and employers to ensure a strong, supportive match. For Josh, this meant taking the time to understand his interests, strengths, and goals – and finding a workplace that shares our vision of inclusive employment. With tailored training and ongoing support, we’ve helped set Josh up for success in a role he truly loves.
We are deeply grateful to General Manager Mark and the entire team at the State Theatre for opening their doors and welcoming Josh with such warmth and encouragement. Their commitment to creating an inclusive and supportive workplace is a shining example for other businesses and organisations across NSW.
Josh’s story is not just a personal victory – it’s proof of what’s possible when workplaces choose inclusion. It’s also a testament to the power of partnerships between community, industry, and disability advocacy organisations in creating opportunities that transform lives.
