Are you looking to get hired?
For those living with self-identified disabilities who want to focus on building transferable skills for success in job hunting and on the job, we offer the Access Ability Wage Subsidy Program.
The Wage Subsidy Program is your opportunity to gain real employment experience. The program will help you find supportive employment with the support of a wage subsidy. The goal of the program is to help you get the skills and training necessary to stay on with your employer when the subsidy runs out.
What to expect:
The program is free to join. In many cases, we pay you so that you can join stress free.
