Led by Neil Squire Society (NSS) in partnership with the Excellence in Manufacturing Consortium (EMC) and SRDC, the Empower3D Program provides youth with disabilities the opportunity to develop skills and gain valuable work experience in the manufacturing sectors. It involves three dimensions of job readiness, professional practice, and technical skills. NSS is implementing the training and EMC is coordinating the work placements with manufacturing companies. SRDC is the research and evaluation partner, providing critical insights and data-driven guidance to inform program design, implementation, continuous improvement, and reporting on program outcomes. This project is scheduled to begin Fall 2024 and end March 31, 2028, and serve approximately 120 youth with disabilities across Canada.
