Services and Programs
Providing you with the tools you need to build your future
Employability Skills
This program focuses on skills we all learn and pick up through our life experiences and via osmosis. Because Deaf consumers have different life experiences and learn differently than we do, these skills are often not communicated or learned in their language or culture.
Job Club
This portion of the program focuses on how to approach and contact employers independently with a hands-on approach. Different from mainstreamed program, this club meets the specific needs of Deaf, late deafened and the Hard of Hearing consumers who are job ready and wish to participate in the labour force.
