The EmploymentWorks National Project is an initiative of The Sinneave Family Foundation delivered in collaboration with ten autism-serving organizations across the country. Funded in part by the Government of Canada’s Opportunities Fund for Persons with Disabilities Program, the EmploymentWorks National Project is designed to help Autistic youth, adults and persons with disabilities to prepare for, find, obtain and keep jobs. The EmploymentWorks program model supports employment readiness through structured skill building and unique job sampling, complemented with work experience and on-the-job supports along a planned, sequential pathway from preparedness to sustained employment. EmploymentWorks is expanding its reach through an online self-paced format available in both English and French, eliminating barriers to participation related to location, transportation or fixed program schedules.
