Stehanie Trinh-Tran, aged 21 years, has a passion for the fashion industry and has been interested in obtaining work in the area since graduating school. Stephanie, who has autism, experienced difficulty in completing fashion courses until she joined not-for-profit disability organisation Avenue, where she now works in an order fulfillment team for a clothing label.
After completing a one-year TAFE course and looking for work experience, Stephanie’s mother found Avenue and its partner, fashion company Yevu. Avenue provides a space for people with disabilities to do work in teams in a supported environment.
