Building Accessible Workspaces

Helping employers become more accessible and people with disability join the workforce.

This program helps employers and people with disability to work together. We support employers by looking at their workplace from the view of a person with disability. We also support employers to become more accessible. We do this by helping them to improve their workspace by providing resources for any changes. This program will help employers add reliable employees to their workforce. We are also supporting people with disability to become job ready. Any people with disability who would like to get a job will get support from EKJP to develop a job plan and job skills. People who come into the program will have their skills matched to suitable jobs to set them up for success.
