Programs and Funding Sources

There are provincial programs, funding sources and federally funded initiatives available to help businesses across Canada become more accessible and inclusive.

Some examples include:

  • Help for costs associated with implementing workplace adaptations, assessments or accommodations.
  • Grants to test innovative ideas that make it easier for people with disabilities to participate in the workforce.
  • Wage subsidies or paid training for people with disabilities (i.e. co-ops, fixed-term internships, and work experiences).
  • Apprenticeship training and industry-specific training that aligns with labour market shortages.
  • Courses and training for talent pools (i.e. first aid and food safety training).
