Inclusive employment continuously evolves to meet the changing labour markets and the diverse needs of job seekers.

This means that supportive employment agencies can have a meaningful role in leading this evolution by embracing innovation, flexibility, and person-centered approaches. This moment presents an exciting opportunity to rethink traditional support delivery and create truly inclusive workplaces that meet both employees and employers where they are.

Join us to hear from agencies at the forefront of this shift, sharing practical knowledge and forward-looking ideas to shape the future of inclusive hiring, and delivery of employment supports.

The session will feature three brief presentations, each sharing a practical example and promising practice in one of the following areas:

1. Innovative On-the-Job Supports – What creative or adaptive supports have helped employees thrive in real-world settings? Here’s how LiveWorkPlay developed alternatives to on -site job coaching to meet employee and employer needs.
2. Career Advancement Strategies – How are agencies moving beyond a single job opportunities focus to one of supporting long-term career growth? SCE Life Works shares how they helped participants develop new skills, progress into new roles, and move toward career advancement.
3. Supporting Individuals with Complex Needs – What approaches have proven successful for those with higher support needs?
