We would require that you take on shifts that do not interfere with the program’s schedule.

I would need some accommodations to complete this program - what supports are available?

Accommodations can be made for participants with disabilities, childcare, or technology difficulties. Accommodations are determined based on the information you provide to us about your limitations and their impact on your training and placement.

If you require accommodations, you and the WorkFairly Outreach & Wraparound Support Worker will discuss your needs and determine your individualized accommodations based on your specific disability, childcare, emergency care, or technological limitations.
