Technology for Employment
Are you looking for employment but have experienced barriers?
Do you have a disability that is making finding (or keeping) work challenging?
Do you think a specific (new customised) assistive technology solution might help you to obtain or keep employment?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions you may be eligible to receive a customized assistive technology to support your employment goals.
CanAssist is closing the employment gap for people with disabilities by removing barriers through innovation. With funding from the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction, we’re working on an initiative to develop customized technologies that empower individuals, foster inclusive workplaces, and create lasting pathways to meaningful employment.
