Did you know that it can be really frustrating and confusing for youth to find job supports in BC? Do you know what options are out there to help youth with disabilities to gain employment?

By creating a BC-wide strategy, we hope to make it easier for youth with disabilities to access employment supports. The Strategy will provide the framework for a consistent approach to supporting youth-specific needs, and highlight best practices to supporting youth with disabilities in their employment.
