FIRST Program Supports Individuals with Disabilities in Earning Red Seal Certification

The Canadian Council on Rehabilitation and Work (CCRW) is offering their FIRST program to support individuals with disabilities in becoming Red Seal certified. This is a great opportunity to gain the skills and certification needed to excel in the trades.

The program offers apprentices tuition support, a network across Canada, workplace and training accommodation support, job stability in in-demand industries, individualized learning and barrier removal plans, and cost assistance with educational materials.

This is employers’ opportunity to become a diverse and inclusive employer, have access to certified-track apprentices and funding supports during exam periods, cost assistance with industry-based training materials, and support with accessibility implementation. Helping to diversify the workforce aids in employee retention and elevates companies as employers of choice. Learn more today at ccrw.org/employment…/supporting-red-seal-trades
