Working Together towards Employment Inclusion

Service providers in communities across Canada are the heart of the supported employment sector, putting it all into action. 

The Canadian Association for Supported Employment (CASE) offers professional development, resources, events, and networking opportunities to support your career and the important work you do every day.

Service providers understand their clients and the barriers to employment in their region. As a national network, CASE collaborates with community partners and engages with service providers on various initiatives to advance employment inclusion in Canada.
