Work Exposure Programs for Persons with Disabilities
Have you heard about the Employment Equity Program here on campus? OLE and the University of Alberta are collaborating with EmployAbilities and On Site Placement Services to create voluntary opportunities for persons with disabilities to gain meaningful work experience. Not only will this program enable University employees to support and engage in community outreach with the broader Edmonton community, it will enhance their own individual diversity awareness and skills and help them to complete special projects that have been relegated to the "wish list."
