MentorAbility - Yukon Hub
MentorAbility is a national initiative from the Canadian Association for Supported Employment (CASE) that promotes the recruitment, employment, and retention of persons experiencing disability. Inclusion Yukon is proud to be the MentorAbility Hub for the Yukon. Through this program we facilitate unique, short-term (from 1 hour to 1 day) mentorship opportunities with employers. You can read more about this program here.

Ready, Willing & Able Yukon
Ready, Willing & Able (RWA) is a free, national initiative of Inclusion Canada and the Canadian Autism Spectrum Disorders Alliance and is funded by the Government of Canada. RWA’s aim is to achieve a labour force participation of people with intellectual disabilities or autism on par with the national average.
There is a strong and proven business case for inclusive hiring! RWA is here to help employers discover these benefits and connect them to skilled local candidates with intellectual disabilities or autism.
RWA helps employers fill existing job vacancies with qualified local candidates by sending opportunities to case managers and partner agencies. If you are an RWA eligible job seeker, ask your case manager about RWA jobs, go to ReadyWillingAble.ca or contact the Labour Market Facilitator to learn more!
Inclusive Employment Support & Job Coaching
You may see Inclusion Yukon staff in the community supporting employees in their workplace. These supported individuals are still hard working, skilled, competent direct hires of the employer, and Inclusion Yukon is often contracted to provide direct support to a person who may need extra help as they learn the essential tasks, practices and routines of a position. We only provide necessary support, and reduce support when appropriate, planning with the employee and their employer. Talk to your employment case manager for a referral, or contact us for more information.
