for Persons with Disabilities

Effective October 2009, the Ontario March of Dimes was awarded the contract to fund the SEB Program for Persons With Disabilities.

Are you disabled? YES YOU CAN be your own boss!

People with Disabilities are successfully operating businesses with help from Job Skills and the SEB Program.

Discover the freedom, flexibility and independence that comes from working for yourself, as well as the ability to:

For up to 78 weeks, eligible participants can access the Self-Employment Benefits Program, which includes:

• mentoring and coaching with business experts
• business-related workshops
• financial support
