EmployABILITY provides support to individuals who self-identify as having a disability.
EmployABILITY is a cross-disability service.
People seeking the support of EmployABILITY can access a variety of employment assessments and then work with Program Employment Support Workers to develop an employment and/or training plan. Assistance and training is provided in the job seeking process and job coaching. Continued support is offered once employment is found. Information about other agencies offering different types of support to people with disabilities is readily available in our EmployABILITY office.
EmployABILITY works with the Yellowknife business community to create training and job opportunities and to promote disability awareness encouraging diversity in the workforce. The program continues its assistance to employers once employment is established. Our staff is knowledgeable about funding opportunities for employers interested in a diverse workforce.
We acknowledge Human Resources Skills Development Canada for its generosity in supporting EmployABILITY and also thank the Department of Education, Culture & Employment, Government of the Northwest Territories for its contribution.
