We are excited to announce that the Employment Toolkit has launched! The Employment Toolkit is designed to guide service providers and teams in supporting people with intellectual disabilities on their journey to meaningful employment. This comprehensive resource offers practical strategies, tools, and resource insights to facilitate the transition from traditional day programs to supported employment. The toolkit is divided into five modules, each focusing on a critical aspect of the employment process. As part of the Toolkit, five videos were developed highlighting the concept of Real Work for Real Pay. Check them out here.
While available to everyone, we are specifically piloting this toolkit with eleven organizations across Manitoba. These organizations will utilize the Toolkit along with other training and mentorship opportunities to deepen their practice in creating real work for real pay!
