Meet Our Partner
We are incredibly grateful to our partner, SWISSBO, for offering a meaningful employment opportunity to our program participants.
SWISSBO, is a Vancouver-based company, that through its strong network of brand and retail partners, has not only expanded its core business but is also committed to giving back to the community by supporting entrepreneurs and start-ups.
Thanks to SWISSBO’s generosity, more than 15 PASS members now have paid employment, performing assembly line tasks in the safety and support of our program. SWISSBO delivers the items to us, and our members are able to process them as part of their PASS scheduled activities. These repetitive tasks, which require focus and attention to detail, have turned out to be almost a therapeutic activity for many program members. Tasks like cutting, sorting, and inventory help us practice and develop a variety of essential skills, including fine motor skills and organizational abilities.
Additionally, another 15 participants benefit from valuable work skills training, gaining hands-on experience that hopefully will help them secure paid employment in the future (we are sure of that!).
We are proud to partner with SWISSBO, a company that believes in the potential of autistic individuals and helping them gain confidence, financial support and job satisfaction.
SWISSBO’s commitment to inclusion has truly made a difference, and we wish there were more employers like them who open their doors to the talents of autistic individuals.
Thank you, SWISSBO and Stories by SWISSBO, for being a beacon of support and opportunity.
