At MODC, we’re connecting people with disabilities with the digital services, training, and skills they need to achieve career success — today and into the future
At March of Dimes Canada,
we believe everyone can contribute to our workplaces and communities if they have equitable access to the right programs, opportunities, and support. It’s more important than ever, as people with disabilities often face multiple barriers to employment. That’s why we’ve partnered with industry leaders who share our values to ensure that people with disabilities can find rewarding jobs in a rapidly changing employment landscape. We’re excited to share four incredible opportunities to help people with disabilities get on the path to financial security.
Discover how people with disabilities can connect with the skills and opportunities they need to land a job of the future:
