Samantha is currently looking for part-time work. She is Deaf, and communicates using American Sign Language.
Working with WorkBC Employment Services to find employment, she was referred to WorkBC Assistive Technology Services for help purchasing hearing aids. She applied, and received funding to purchase the hearing aids she needed for the job search.
“The hearing aids are important for me to have communication accessibility during job interviews, networking, workshops, and eventually onboarding training,” she says.
Samantha says she would recommend WorkBC Assistive Technology Services to others.
“Thank you for your services,” she shares. “With my new hearing aids, I can hear the environmental sounds and pick up some words from people talking or one-to-one conversation. It also helps reduce the background noise. The hearing aids are important in my job interviews, workshops, and training.”
WorkBC Assistive Technology Services is operated by Neil Squire. Assistive Technology Services are available to individuals who have a work-related barrier due to a disability or a functional limitation. This may include barriers related to traveling to and from the workplace.
