People with disabilities have the skills employers need, yet they often face barriers to finding and keeping a job. For many, the key to success is some accommodation to support them to search for employment or overcome challenges in the workplace.

WorkBC’s Assistive Technology Services (ATS) supports individuals who face a work-related barrier due to a disability or a functional limitation, providing equipment and devices to help these individuals thrive in the workplace.

ATS supports can include assistive devices like ergonomic desks, chairs, and keyboards, ramps, vehicle modification, communication and hearing devices related to work, and American Sign Language interpreting and captions.

Interested in learning more? Join a lunch & learn or an online webinar at the WorkBC Assistive Technology Services Lab, 400 – 3999 Henning Drive, Burnaby, BC V5C 6P9, on the 3rd Thursday of every second month from 11:50am to 1:00pm. Lunch is provided!

Not every job becomes a career.

Sometimes the job that teaches you the most is the one you never planned on taking.

Maybe it taught you confidence, communication, leadership, resilience, or simply what you didn’t want to do.

What’s a job you’ve had that taught you an unexpected life or career lesson?

Share your story in the comments.

Did you know that every Wednesday WorkBC's Assistive Technology Services hosts a free online webinar 12:30pm to 1:30pm?
