Employment Supports
Inclusion Yukon offers employment support for individuals experiencing disability through several different programs. Read more about them below!
MentorAbility is a program that facilitates unique, short-term (from 1 hour to 1 day) mentorship opportunities between folks experiencing disability and employers they are interested in working with. The program is a national initiative from the Canadian Association for Supported Employment (CASE) that promotes the recruitment, employment, and retention of persons experiencing disability. Inclusion Yukon is proud to be the MentorAbility Hub for the Yukon. You can read more about this program here.

Ready, Willing & Able (RWA) helps employers fill existing job vacancies with qualified local candidates by sending opportunities to case managers and partner agencies. There is a strong and proven business case for inclusive hiring! RWA is here to help employers discover these benefits and connect them to skilled local candidates with intellectual disabilities or autism.
RWA is a free, national initiative of Inclusion Canada and the Canadian Autism Spectrum Disorders Alliance. RWA’s am is to achieve labour force participation of people with intellectual disabilities and/or autism on par with the national average.
