Support is provided to people to identify each person’s unique skills and interests in order to determine their job path. Our highly experienced Job Placement Coordinators will assist with career development, job coaching and maintaining employment. Job Placement Coordinators will work with each person, and the employer, to achieve successful employment within the Halton area. Employment supports may be provided through the Ontario Disability Support Program Employment Supports (ODSP-ES) or Supported Employment.

Ontario Disability Support Program Employment Supports

Candidates are skilled, reliable, enthusiastic and ready for competitive employment. Application for this program can be provided through our Job Placement Coordinators. People who apply for the program must be seeking a job that pays minimum wage or more. Everyone’s path to employment is different and it is our goal to help each person create a career path.

Supported Employment

Supported Employment is an alternative to ODSP Employment Supports, for people seeking work experiences and meaningful community involvement. Job Placement Coordinators assist people to demonstrate their skills and talents in a wide variety of settings that nurture their interests and aspirations. This may take the form of unpaid work experiences and/or training opportunities.
