Breaking through (Captioned)

Produced for the Australian Deafness Council, this informative and supportive video encourages deaf students to look positively at a broad range of jobs which they may not have considered. It shows young deaf people at work in a wide variety of fields from professional to unskilled, and looks at some of the problems they may encounter.
