PROVINCE ASSISTS PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES TO GET JOBS

Released on February 11, 2004

Approximately 125 people with disabilities have benefited from new employment services offered through a one-year pilot project called "Partners in Employment". The new service, which celebrated its official launch today, is managed by the Saskatchewan Abilities Council with funding of $350,000 from Saskatchewan Community Resources and Employment.

"People with disabilities have made it very clear they want to be independent and they want to work," Community Resources and Employment Minister Joanne Crofford said. "The province is working with them do just that through programs like Partners in Employment and through partnerships with community-based organizations like the Saskatchewan Abilities Council." Crofford noted this is one more step to building independence for all Saskatchewan people.

"With the support of Community Resources and Employment, Partners in Employment is helping people with barriers achieve their employment potential by providing the right support at the right time," Saskatchewan Abilities Council Regional Director Pat Cooper said. "It is extremely rewarding to us when our clients are successful."

Partners in Employment offers individualized services to help people with disabilities in finding, securing and maintaining employment. Services include job development, pre-employment training, job maintenance and job coaching.

In September, Stephanie King was the first client to successfully attain community employment through Partners in Employment. King is proud of her progress through the series of services that has led to her current job at the YWCA Cafeteria.

The province's financial contribution for this pilot project is part of its $1.85 million-commitment this year to enhancing employment supports for people with disabilities.
