Career Connections

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.

Once a client achieves their independence, there is so much more they can do. Everything about inclusion sets them up for their future goals, as they are looking to gain the same opportunities as everyone else, discovering purpose, while participating in a team environment.
