Mission Statement
Our main objective is to support adults with developmental disabilities by directly supporting their education and employment goals. Facilitating these helps them in developing the practical skills necessary to live and work in the community. Inclusion within the university population promotes participation in a variety of social interactions and development of many new skills. Workplace support assists graduates to develop careers and continue to cultivate their independence. Our philosophy is to encourage people who have a developmental disability to develop lifelong and defining relationships. These relationships foster a sense of belonging are critical to an inclusive future for young adults as they strive to live productive lives in the community.
About This Cause
We facilitate inclusive education and employment opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities in Calgary, Alberta. While in Inclusive Post Secondary Education (IPSE), students attend classes at the University of Calgary, St. Mary's, or the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT). During their time with IPSE, individuals also focus on campus/community engagement and employment preparation. After 3-5 years at each post-secondary institution, individuals may transition into Graduate Support Services (GSS) for an additional 5 years, where they focus on employment preparation exclusively.
