Summer job hunting for students with disabilities
Summer job services for deaf, deafened and hard of hearing youth. For more information, contact Joan at St. Stephen's Employment and Training Centre, 416-531-4631 X272 or TTY 416-531-4926 or email sjs3@st-stephens-etc.org. SJS is located at 1415 Bathurst Street, Suite 201 (1 block south of St. Clair West and Bathurst). Bring 2 copies of your resume if you have one, photo ID and your social insurance number (SIN).
The Ontario government subsidizes summer jobs. Students with disabilities who are up to 29 years old and returning to school in the fall apply through a community agency . See our post for contact information. The age range for other students is 15-24 years old. Contact any of these community agencies if they are more convenient.
St. Stephen's also has EntryPoint for post-secondary students and graduates with disabilities – visual, mobility impairment, mental illness, acquired brain injury, identified learning disability, etc. This program is also offered by JobStart, Tropicana (AYCE) and YES.
Check out LinkUp. This employment service specializes in helping persons with disabilities. I found at least one summer job by using the keyword summer.
