Listen to the real-life stories of people from marginalized groups and how they have experienced prejudice, social exclusion, or stigma. The series runs every Tuesday from Oct. 25 - Nov. 22 from 6:30-8:00 pm. Register for individual sessions.
At the first session learn how PosAbilities Employment Service (PES) has provided supportive and customized employment opportunities for people with diverse abilities during the last 13 years in Vancouver and the TriCities areas. Showcasing PES’ person-centered and celebratory employment model, James Miller and David Webster will walk you through what the employment process looks like, what support means to PES, and why it’s important for youth to start thinking and planning for their future careers now.
