About Grant
People on income and disability assistance and Indigenous people receiving equivalent federal assistance often face barriers to employment and can find it difficult to secure meaningful work. United Way BC’s Work Experience Opportunities Grant provides BC non-profit organizations with funding to create time-limited paid work opportunities where program participants receive essential skills training and hands-on paid work experience to improve their employability while preparing them for in-demand jobs. Additional income earned by program participants does not affect income or disability-assistance benefits.
This province-wide grant stream supports BC non-profit organizations to deliver paid placements and enhance programs and services offered.
United Way BC Work Experience Opportunities Grant is funded by the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia.
