The EDGE (Integrated Employment Services) Program is accepting immediate referrals of individuals living with disabilities who are seeking employment of more than 20 hours a week.
The EDGE program staff can either jump right into job development with job seekers, or begin with soft skills training, then move into job development, depending on the client’s needs.
This program also includes a robust interview prep workshop (“Suitable Impressions”) with brand new professional clothing and hygiene products, as well as a financial literacy workshop,
Once clients are employed, they are supported for up to a year in a job coaching, employment retention and professional development capacity. The entire program is completely free-of-charge (flyer attached).
Space is limited. Kindly send referrals at earliest possibility, or have clients reach out directly to: edgeprograminfo@brandsforcanada.com, noting that they heard about the program from Siofra Burgoyne.
To qualify, clients must be:
- Living with a disability
- Legal working age
- Legally able to work in Canada & residing in Ontario
Clients may be receiving ODSP income supports, but don’t have to be. An individual may self-identify that they are living with a disability to qualify for the program.
