Inclusion Alberta's Rotary Employment Partnership is a collaborative initiative between Inclusion Alberta, Rotary Clubs across Alberta, and the Government of Alberta. Established in 2000, the partnership aims to create meaningful, paid employment opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities by connecting them with inclusive employers.

Rotary's Role in the Partnership

Rotary Clubs play a pivotal role by leveraging their networks within the business community to identify and develop job opportunities. Rotarians actively engage with local businesses to promote inclusive hiring practices and facilitate the integration of individuals with intellectual disabilities into the workforce.
