Welcome to the Canadian Association for Supported Employment
CASE stands for the Canadian Association for Supported Employment. Established in 1999, CASE was initially an informal network of service providers and concerned citizens who were concerned about the full participation of persons with disabilities in the Canadian labour force.
CASE became incorporated in 2003 to reinforce supported employment initiatives throughout Canada.
