Helping Visually Impaired Albertans Find Work

While Alberta’s economy continues to grow and more jobs are created, Albertans with visual impairment are finding it difficult to find work due to their unique needs and the specific accommodations they require.

Alberta’s government is committed to supporting Albertans living with disabilities. This $1-million grant to the CNIB will help remove employment barriers and ensure more visually impaired Albertans are able to contribute to the province’s growing economy.

CNIB’s Come to Work program currently serves more than 200 visually impaired Albertans. This funding will enable the organization to help an additional 110 clients, resulting in about 350 visually impaired Albertans having access to employment supports, mentorship opportunities and job search assistance in 2023.
