Internship, Equity & Employee Development Programs
Career Assistance Program for Persons with Disabilities
Persons with disabilities, being a targeted group for employment
with the Civil Service of Manitoba, receive special consideration
in all competitions within this government. Every employment bulletin
includes the following:
Employment Equity is a factor in the selection process.
Applicants are requested to indicate in their covering letter
or resume if they are from any of the following groups: women,
Aboriginal people, visible minorities and persons with disabilities.
All Employment Opportunity Notices are sent through our Fax Gateway
to many organizations representing Persons with Disabilities (PWD).
The organizations promote these opportunities within their client
base.
CSC Career Assistance Program for Persons with Disabilities
In the 2001 / 2002 Budget, the Civil Service Commission was granted
5 staff years and salary dollars to promote placement of Persons
with Disabilities in government jobs. The intent of the program
was to assist departments in making any necessary accommodations
required to allow a disabled person to function well in a position
they were qualified to handle.
The supported positions are intended to be 6 to 12 months in duration,
at the end of which time the receiving department should make every
effort to continue the employment relationship with another term
or permanent placement. The length of the internship is flexible,
depending on the extent of the accommodation required.
To promote this program to the disabled community and encourage
persons with disabilities to apply for positions in the Manitoba
Government, the Civil Service Commission takes part in an Employment
Fair for Persons with Disabilities, sponsored annually by the Manitoba
Business Leadership Network Inc. (MBLN). The Manitoba
Business Leadership Network Inc.'s mission is to engage the business
community in promoting the benefits of hiring qualified individuals
with disabilities by providing Manitobans with disabilities the
opportunity to acquire meaningful employment.
Representatives from all departments in government took part in
meeting potential applicants at the fair display booth and answering
questions about the program. Our goal in participating in events,
such as this, is that the government's position on promoting employment
for persons with disabilities will become more obvious to the disabled
community. It will also promote our Career Assistance Program for
Persons with Disabilities and encourage departments to actively
take advantage of the staff years and salary dollars available.
