Get Involved with our Employment Program
Did you know that autistic adults have the lowest employment rate in Canada, at just 14.3 percent, when compared to the general population at 92.7 percent? At PALS Adult Services Society (PASS), we are working to change this by providing our members with employment training and employment opportunities.
If you have a business in the Lower Mainland, you can partner with us to help!
At PASS, our members take great pride in their work and have proven capabilities in various tasks, including:
Simple office work, such as shredding, typing, transcribing, scanning, filing, and organizing.
Food preparation, such as portioning, using a scale, packaging.
Cleaning, including laundry, mopping, sweeping, sanitizing, vacuuming, among other skills.
