Sheltered Employment is a voluntary employment, training and work experience program for persons 18 years of age and over, who are employment disadvantaged due to an intellectual disability.

Work areas are developed in a structure of diversified supported environments to provide meaningful work alternatives and options. Simulated standards and norms of employment are in practice for the purpose of preparing people for competitive work routines within the sheltered work place and as a foundation for mainstream competitive employment. Developing abilities to achieve maximum potential is catalytic towards positive self-esteem, confidence, and independence.

On the job support and instruction is the average ratio of one instructor to fifteen program participants. This may vary depending upon department and operational requirements.

Health and Safety is of priority. Departments follow all aspects of the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act.
