No there are no additional costs!  The costs are minimal. In fact - most accommodations can be arranged for under 0.00.  If there is a cost, it's in the time required to prepare staff.  Sensitivity training only take around a day and can be arranged free of charge through EmployAbilities. Those who take this training find it useful and informative both on and off the job!

Assistive technology is already commonly used in the workplace when one takes a moment to reflect on it.  For instance, ergonomic chairs and keyboards as well as enlarged monitored are frequaently used in offices to prevent back pain, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and eye strain. In short, when one takes a moment to sit back and reflect on this, hiring a person with a disability would be no different than hiring an able-bodied individual!

You would have no additional responsibilities than that of an employer hiring anyone else!

It makes sound business sense for an employer to have diversity in their workplace.  Companies with duch diversity are seen as dynamic, progressive and responsible - by consumers and job seekers alike.

Contrary to belief, the employers who have hired someone with a disability or barrier to employment will tell you the accomodations they had to make in the workplace were quite marginal.

EmployAbilities wants to make sure the transition goes as smoothly as possible for both the client and employer. Therefore, job coaches are always available to both parties to assist with making any transition a success!

EmployAbilities is charitable non-profit organization, located in Edmonton, Alberta dedicated to promoting and enhancing employment and learning opportunities for persons with disabilities. This is accomplished by a variety of different programs providing training on computers, assistance with resume and cover letter creation and modification, as well as on the job support if needed!

EmployAbilities assists individuals with visable (a disability in one can visually see) and non-visable disabilities (one which you cannot see such as dyslexia). We also assist those with other barriers to employment such as various medical conditions and those with legal implications against them.

EmployAbilities currently hosts three Special Events a year. During the Summer months we have our EmployAbilities Classic Golf Tournament. When the summer months are winding down we host our "A Kiss of Fall" Black Tie Affair. Another of our events is our western themed Jeans & Buckin' kick off to Rodeo Season (Dinner, Dance and Live Auction).  We also have a Casino Event every second year to assist in raising funds for our ongoing programs which we offer to those with disabilities seeking employment!

Our information sessions are held every Tuesday at 1:15 PM at our head office in Edmonton located at 10909 Jasper Avenue (4th Floor).
