The job market is a tough place for anyone, especially for people with disabilities or barriers to employment. EmployAbilities can help. For 51 years, our employment programs have helped connect ability to opportunity. We can help you access employment training, job skills courses, job search support and resources throughout the Edmonton region and northern Alberta.

These programs are slightly tailored to different people, age groups and situations, but we can help you find one that best meets your needs. We have programs in Edmonton and surrounding areas, Vegreville, St. Paul, Lac La Biche, Bonnyville, Cold Lake, and Grande Prairie.
Each location and program is run by confident and competent staff passionate about connecting people to meaningful employment. Check out our Programs for Job Seekers.
