Access to Employment

Access to Employment

Access to Employment is a program to help people with disabilities get and stay connected to employment, support services and disability management.

  • Connect job seekers to relevant and appropriate resources, including employment assistance and outreach services
  • Work with case managers, other service providers and employers to support people with disabilities
  • Arrange various assessments (cognitive, academic, vocational, mental health, functional, PATH and others)
  • Provide informative workshops regarding disability support and management and duty to accommodate.

As well, we send out job postings via email. If you would like to be added to the Job Postings email list: employment@drcvictoria.com

For more information about employment support and disability management contact our Employment Coordinator at: 250-595-0044 ext. 101 or e-mail: employment@drcvictoria.com

Self Employment

A2B: Abilities 2 Business

Planning to start your own business?

Often, it is not as easy as it looks, but others have succeeded and so can you. Abilities 2 Business is a comprehensive program developed by experienced small business specialists, working with and funded by the Ministry of Housing and Social Development.

What does it take to succeed?

Believe it or not, the most effective predictor of success in life is clarity of vision. Not education. Not family money. If you believe in yourself and where you are going, chances are you will be successful. Any small business owner can tell you that success is also the result of hard work.
We believe:

  • Vision without work is dreaming
  • Work without vision is often wasted effort
  • With vision and focused work, you will succeed in self-employment

Abilities 2 Business is a path that will help you achieve your vision. For more information contact Cathy at 250-595-0044 ext. 104 or
