Inclusion Canada and Autism Alliance of Canada (formerly CASDA) are pleased to announce the expansion of the Ready, Willing and Able program.
As of November 1, 2022 the Ready, Willing and Able (RWA) program has secured funding necessary to ensure its continued delivery until at least October 2027. This continuation was made possible through a $20 million investment by the Government of Canada in the Ready, Willing, and Able program as announced in Budget 2022. This was further amended to an extended 5-year, $30-million-dollar investment, which will now allow project delivery to 2027.
RWA is a national employment program, jointly sponsored by Inclusion Canada and Autism Alliance of Canada, for persons with an intellectual disability or on the autism spectrum. This investment by the Government of Canada will enable RWA to expand its work with employers and community agencies to generate employment opportunities for people with an intellectual disability or on the autism spectrum.
