  • Providing hands-on training, observation, and evaluation of the participant's pre-vocational skills, and finding educational opportunities or classes to assist with further development.
  • Advocating for participants' inclusion in the community and empowering them to exercise their rights.
  • Using BuildAbility’s digital program to log the individual’s progress and performance.

Schedule:

  • Part-time (roughly 27 hours a week)
  • Monday to Friday, 9:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.

Compensation:

  • Starting at $19.00 - $22.00/hour (depending on prior experience and qualifications)
