Breakthrough Supported Employment
Breakthrough is a supported employment service in Bracknell Forest.
Our aim is to help people with learning disabilities and/or an autism diagnosis to prepare for, achieve and maintain meaningful employment. We find that many people with a learning disability and/or an autism diagnosis want to work and do not want to be dependent on benefits. Paid employment can provide a sense of independence, both personal and financial, that they would not otherwise have. It allows them to make a wider circle of friends, earn money and put their skills to use in creative ways and achieve their full potential.
