Our programs are expanding in ages and locations

Focus Ability Community Contribution Company would like to thank everyone for the support we have been given by the community and families of those with uneven cognitive abilities in Kelowna, Kamloops, Vernon, and Salmon Arm. We have expanded our adult employment and social programs to include those who are 16-19 years old to help both the families and the individuals keep up with peer groups and experiences.

We enjoy helping those who are creating awareness through community events and support them whenever we are able. Seventeen participants have taken over 100 hours of assessment and training receiving a full report, MindMap™, Individual Work Plan, and ongoing job support. The majority of the people we have trained have found employment through us. Other participants are preparing for work and contracts in the technology and non-profit sectors. We have also been hard at work to provide post-secondary supports and guidance for those who need job shadows, career direction, and educational supports.

We wish to recognize and thank the community businesses and support groups for helping to bring awareness and lend support to adults with special abilities to enter the workforce.

Focus Ability places applicants into fields of employment after they complete the assessment and training program; additionally, Focus provides on and off-site support through job coaches and an internal point of contact.
