Summary

  • Connecting2Ability is repositioning its Bendigo supported-employment business around trade-level skills, arguing clients should hire its crews for professional, reliable and competitively priced work rather than charity motives.
  • Jo Barclay said the shift aims to replace low expectations with a performance culture in which supported employees take ownership of contracts, client relationships and finished results.
  • C2A says that approach already spans commercial grounds maintenance, an Eco Fleet mobile car-washing service and a dedicated water truck serving developers, councils and commercial landscapes.
  • New growth areas include solar-panel cleaning for large solar farms, which C2A presents as evidence that supported employment can expand into specialized commercial services and broader workforce inclusion.
