EMPLOYMENT STRATEGY FOR YOUTH WITH DISABILITIES (ESYD) @ CanAssist

​CanWork is an innovative collaboration between CanAssist and the Co-operative Education and Career Services at the University of Victoria. The pilot program supports UVic students who identify as having a disability or mental health challenge to engage in meaningful, paid, relevant work experience during their degrees. Through the program, job coaches support students on their work sites, help them to master their task, achieve independence, and contribute to the workplace.
