Every year, Career Connections serves hundreds of Albertans with disabilities or other barriers on their path to meaningful employment. In addition, we are champions in the community for creating more inclusive workplaces, supporting hundreds of employers every year through the process of hiring and employing Albertans with disabilities.
The Career Connections program supports people with disabilities in locating and maintaining employment or volunteer opportunities. Individuals are assisted with identifying their employment goals, employment preparation, job search, and employment coaching.
Through an individualized Person-Centred plan, The Path to Employment program puts a focus on skill building, customizing work opportunities and job coaching. This helps support the needs of each individual.
Our People
