Avantages
They support disabled youth in getting an education with universities across Edmonton. They support the search for accessible jobs in Edmonton.
Inconvénients
All of their training around disability is engaging with stuff written by their white men founders. In the world of disability theory there is an incredible amount of work and thought by Disabled WOMEN OF COLOUR that this company simply ignores. They really promote "traditional values" when it comes to what a life path should be - university marriage and then children. This disallows conversation around other experiences that don't follow that path. Very underpaid and overworked. Lack of acknowledgement around intersectionality- other experiences otuside of what they deem as the 'norm'. Everyone I worked with felt overworked, underpaid and undervalued. They didn't actually provide any specific training for the hands on emotionally serving role I was hired for expecting me to 'learn on the job'
