Hundreds of people with disabilities will be able to achieve greater independence and find meaningful employment thanks to the extension of the Province of British Columbia’s popular Technology@Work program.

More than 1,140 people have already accessed Technology@Work, where people with disabilities can get the assistive technology they need for employment. Operated by the Neil Squire Society since May 4, 2015, a $2 million investment from the Ministry of Social Development (new window) and a $1 million investment from Advanced Education (new window) will support the one-year extension of the program, until a contract renewal process is completed.
