Cortree & Spinal Cord Injury Ontario: Employment Services
For over 75 years, Spinal Cord Injury Ontario (SCIO) has specialized in the support of those with spinal cord injuries and other disabilities. Through their extensive history and years of experience collaborating with SCI community members and with the broader disability community, SCIO found that education and peer connection are vital to the these often underrepresented and underestimated groups.
The opportunity to connect with peers on a similar path is extremely valuable and has proven to help members of the disability community to live the life they choose; it impacts their journey not just physically, but emotionally and mentally – which is why SCIO created Cortree.
Cortree is social venture, committed to making life more inclusive and accessible for people with disabilities, their families, and the greater community.
To further support our diverse community needs, Cortree and Spinal Cord Injury Ontario have partnered to create new and updated Employment Services courses, services and resources for both individual job seekers as well as for employers.
If you’re a job seeker searching for work in Canada, or an employer looking to understand disability in the workplace, Cortree offers courses that are specially designed to help you meet your goals.
