Goal of EAPD

The goal of the EAPD initiative is to enhance the economic participation of working age adults with disabilities by providing federal funding to provinces for a range of provincial programs and services. To be eligible for funding under EAPD, the programs and services must provide the skills, experience and related supports necessary to prepare people with disabilities for economic participation and employment in the labour market, or to help them attain and/or maintain employment. Under this initiative, funding is also provided for programs and services for individuals who are experiencing vocational crisis.
