HOW WE HELP

Gateway Support

JOB SEEKER SUPPORT

Job seekers receive one-on-one assistance to discover their interest fields, discover a place to work and find a job that fulfills them. Employees and employers receive ongoing support throughout the entire working relationship.

FAMILY SUPPORT

Gateway supports people with disabilities and their families and fosters more inclusive communities. Our supports and services are as unique as the people we serve. Each individual is unique in their needs. We can help.

EMPLOYER SUPPORT

In partnership with employers, Gateway develops meaningful, paid employment relationships that benefit both workers and employers. Our process involves thorough discovery with each job seeker, and full exploration with every potential employer.

WORKSHOP CALENDARS

We offer workshops for families, job seekers, employers, and anyone interested in joining an inclusive community. Workshops cover topics such as transitioning to adulthood, as well as workshops specific to families and staff that use Family Managed Services (FMS). All workshops are free.

Real people. Real outcomes.
Our impact stories
Families, job seekers, and employers across Edmonton and Calgary.

"When I was grasping at straws, one of the straws I pulled out was Gateway – as an option; as an opportunity. Through Gateway I met others who had similar concerns and aspirations. There was emotional support and Gateway gave me concrete ideas...It was wonderful to be able to share things with other families."
Sylvia, FRC Family · Edmonton

"Gateway showed me that there are companies that actually care about your own well being, they want you to be able to meet your basic needs, they want to see you grow,...Gateway helped me realize that I don't have to keep living that way. I learned what my values are and the value I could bring to the workplace."
