Transition to Work for People with Disabilities

The Transition to Work Program for people with disabilities aims to:

  • promote self-advocacy
  • provide opportunities to develop career readiness and exploratory skills
  • offer career preparedness workshops and events
  • offer tips for disclosing and negotiating accommodation needs in the workplace
  • offer regular wraparound supports as part of learner's career readiness journey
  • share examples of successful workplace accommodations and supportive employers

At three key times in the school year, a guest speaker and other events are scheduled.

  • October is Disability Employment Awareness Month, a period when we offer workshops to help you become aware of the supports and resources available to support your career journey.
  • March is Career Month at Humber and the focus during this period is on skill building for career preparation.
  • In May, events and workshops are organized to support you with the transition from college to the workplace. Typically, we highlight employer, industry partner, and alumni stories and lived experiences.

Please check out our resource page for more information, partnering organizations, and career development resources to support you through your career journey.
