Q & A

If you live in Grande Prairie or any other north-west Alberta community up to and including High Level, are 18 or older, have a disability or barrier to employment, and are a Canadian citizen, you’re likely eligible to access our services. Not sure if you qualify? Contact us!

Disability is broad term which encompasses people with physical disabilities – like hearing difficulties or mobility challenges – and mental disabilities – like depression, anxiety, and attention-deficit disorders. Barriers to employment include people with limited English language skills, people with limited or no work experience, or a lack of skills and training. According to Statistics Canada, about 1 in every 7 Albertans have one or more disabilities or barriers to employment. You are not alone!

Employment-related supports are things we can provide you with for anything work-related. Examples include a gas card to get to work, or money to buy steel-toed boots for the job site.

Workplace accommodations are changes that are made in the workplace to make things easier for people with disabilities or barriers to employment. Examples include a larger keyboard for a person with visual impairments, or a standing desk for someone with mobility challenges. If you need these things to thrive in your new position, we might be able to help.
