Consultation: Refocusing the Urban Lens on Rural and Remote Supported Employment Services
We invite you to participate in a virtual consultation session to help shape national research on the challenges and successes of providing supported employment services in rural and remote communities. This session is part of a project led by the BC Association of Service Providers for Employability and Career Training (ASPECT) in partnership with the Canadian Association of Supported Employment (CASE). Your insights will contribute to a national report aimed at strengthening services for people with disabilities across Canada.
ASPECT is expanding their November 2022 research Refocusing the Urban Lens for Rural and Remote Employment Services.
Who Should Participate?
We are looking for employment service providers and professionals who:
· Work with people with disabilities in rural or remote communities
· Have firsthand experience with the challenges and opportunities in supported employment
· Want to contribute to meaningful policy and program improvements
What to Expect
The session will include an introduction, a guided discussion on key questions, and (if needed) breakout rooms for smaller group conversations.
ASPECT will facilitate and document the discussion, ensuring all contributions remain anonymous and confidential. Quotes or insights in the final report will be anonymized and not attributed to individuals or organizations. Only the province from where the comment came will be identified in the meeting notes and final reports.
