Welcome to The Employment Division

A Division of The Vera Perlin Society

It is generally accepted that every adult Canadian citizen will make a contribution to his/her own welfare and the welfare of society through meaningful employment. Most Canadians attempt to find a job that will satisfy both their need to feel productive and their need for financial security. The range of occupational alternatives available for persons with a developmental disability often does not satisfy either their personal or economic needs.

The Vera Perlin Society, in endeavoring to meet the challenges of unemployment for persons with a developmental disability, developed within its structure an Employment Division which includes:

» W.O.R.C
» SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT
» C.E.E
» THE BUTTON SHOP

Our current structure attempts to provide the best possible ways and means to access community based employment opportunities.

The Employment Division endeavors to support individuals in a variety of ways, including advocacy and directional support to obtain the services which are required to maximize success in the work place.
