Are you living with a disability and struggling to find meaningful employment? You’re not alone. In Canada, only 62% of persons with disabilities aged 25 to 64 are employed, compared to 78% of those without disabilities. But there’s hope for change, and EDGE+ is here to help you bridge that gap.

EDGE+ is a comprehensive training program designed to empower individuals with any disability - physical, mental, or otherwise - to secure and sustain employment or pursue self-employment opportunities. Our goal is to unlock your potential and help you thrive in the workforce.
