Frequently Asked Questions

We connect job seekers with employment services that can support you in your job search!

Our career navigation services cannot directly help you to search for employment.

Ready, Willing & Able (RWA) career navigation is an individualized service that is offered by appointment.

Job seekers typically meet with the Navigator between one to three times — either in-person, over the phone, or on a video call.

In this way, it is a unique service that is distinctly different from Canucks Autism Network (CAN)’s typical weekly programs.

An intake meeting is usually the first meeting that takes place between the Navigator and job seeker.

During this meeting, the goals are for the job seeker to learn more about Navigation and that the Navigator can learn more about the job seeker’s goals and support needs.

The intake meeting takes place either online using Zoom or in-person at the Canucks Autism Network (CAN) office in Vancouver.
