About this service
As a provincial community coordinator for the Opportunities Fund for Persons with Disabilities Program we bring employees and employers together by providing a wage subsidy for employers to hire persons with disabilities. Opportunities Fund is funded by the Government of Canada under Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). This program provides a subsidy of 60-80% contribution of the current minimum wage rate to a maximum 36 weeks. Employers will contribute 20-40% of participants wages as well as the mandatory employment related costs (MERCS) and Workers Compensation Fees.
Participants are offered dependent care and transportation where appropriate and required. Short term training courses, disability supports and adaptive technology are available to all participants should it be required for a successful transition to the workforce.
