ODSP Employment Support Program

The ODSP Employment Supports Program assists persons with disabilities to locate and retain employment. The actual services available throughout ODSP Employment Supports are delivered by various community organizations located throughout the City of Toronto. These organizations help clients with all aspects of job development, from helping determine what work is available, to negotiating employment opportunities with employers and providing employment follow-up. As well, organizations providing ODSP employment supports can assist employed clients and their employers to resolve situations before jobs are lost. 

As providers of ODSP Employment Supports services in the City of Toronto, we have created this website in an effort to share ODSP related benefits that may be available to the job seekers in our community who have disabilities. 

If you are receiving ODSP Income Supports there are a variety of benefits available to you to support you in your desire to get and keep a job. These supports are in addition to ODSP Employment Supports.

For those who qualify, changes have recently been implemented to provide you with incentives to obtain employment such as:

  • INCREASED INCOME
  • EXTENDED HEALTH BENEFITS
  • RAPID REINSTATEMENT

Even if you are not on ODSP Income Supports, Employment Supports may still be an option for you. To find out more about Employment Supports, please contact an ODSP Employment Supports Service Provider listed in the Toronto Service Providers page or you can also contact ODSP Employment Supports.
