How it WORKS

Our Focus

RWA’s innovation is its focus on employers. We are here to learn about their labour needs, and provide employers coordinated access to a pipeline of talent and skills to meet those needs, and support them on their inclusive employment journey. And we deliver our services at no cost to the employer.

This focus, carried out by our team of labour market facilitators and national staff working from coast-to-coast-to-coast, has successfully connected thousands of businesses to thousands of employees who are building high performing, inclusive workplaces.

The RWA Advantage

  • Our ‘client’ is you, the employer and our model works because we work to understand and meet employers’ real labour and talent needs.
 
  • We educate employers on the benefits and business case for inclusive employment, helping them understand its benefit to employee attraction, retention, productivity, satisfaction, customer perceptions and more.
 
  • We coordinate access in each community to the untapped, under-accessed pool of candidates with intellectual disabilities or on the autism spectrum.
 
 
  • We support companies of all sizes (from owner-operated small businesses to national and multi-national corporations) fill positions of all kinds (from stocking shelves to complex data analytics).
