As of March 31st, 2024, the Alliance employABILITY program will be closing its doors due to funding constraints. This decision comes after careful consideration and evaluation of our resources. Despite our best efforts, the funding provided has not been sufficient to sustain the program effectively.

We understand this news may come as a disappointment to many who have benefited from the program in the past. We want to assure you your employment goals and aspirations remain a priority for us. While we must bid farewell to the Alliance employABILITY program, we are committed to supporting you in finding meaningful employment opportunities through alternative avenues.

Moving forward, we encourage you to explore the following options for employment support:

  1. Community Participation Program: Our Community Participation program will now include employment and job skills workshops as part of our group activities. These workshops aim to equip participants with the necessary skills and knowledge to pursue employment opportunities.
  2. Passport Funds: For those seeking personalized assistance with job seeking, job preparation, or on-the-job support, such services can be accessed through your Passport funds. The Passport Program is designed to empower individuals with choice and flexibility in determining where they need supports, services, and activities.
  3. Community Partnerships: We will be collaborating with third-party providers in our community who specialize in supporting individuals with diverse abilities. These partnerships will ensure that our community members receive expert guidance and resources to achieve their employment goals.

We understand change can be challenging, but we are here to support you every step of the way. Should you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Your well-being and success are important to us, and we remain dedicated to helping you thrive in your endeavors.
