Connecting Futures, a social enterprise redefining youth employment through a neurodiverse lens.
Drawing on their own lived experience as parents of neurodivergent children, Scott and Sam share how they’ve built an inclusive organisation that empowers young people aged 15–25 to find meaningful work, confidence, and independence. From winning the Diverse and Inclusive Workplace Award to expanding nationally through the Inclusive Employment Australia (IEA) program, their story is one of empathy, innovation, and purpose-driven growth.
Listeners will hear inspiring participant success stories, practical advice for businesses embracing neurodiversity, and insights into navigating the NDIS system. With more than 70 young people supported each week, Connecting Futures is proving that when we adapt environments—not individuals—we unlock potential, strengthen communities, and create lasting social change across regional Australia.
Caleb Maxwell is a creative entrepreneur and founder of Hebron Films, where he helps remarkable regional businesses perform on the world stage through strategic, story-driven video. He also co-hosts the Country Creatives Podcast, empowering regional creatives to thrive. Passionate about faith, family, and service, Caleb embodies purpose-driven leadership.
