Supported Employment

Since its initial inception, Equal Opportunities West has provided supported employment services to the community.

 

EOW's Supported Employment Services (SES) is a free resource to anyone who has disability, including self-declared disabilities, and mental health concerns. SES is also available for individuals who experience other barriers to finding employment (e.g. language barrier).

 

Currently 30 to 40 potential job-seekers per year utilize Equal Opportunities West to help participants develop or improve resumes, fill out job applications and requirements, as well as receive advice on how to approach a job interview and work with potential employers to hold steady, long-term employment.

 

The expectation is that someone receiving this type of service will be able to work a minimum of 15 hours per week.
