I did 60 hours worth of workshops that I was paid for, then I was matched with a job that suited my qualifications and interests. It's not glamorous by any means (I stock shelves at Canadian Tire), but it keeps me busy and moving, plus it brings in extra income. When you're on disability, any amount of extra money helps!
Do you think there is a program similar to this offered where you live?

I really have no idea. I know there are job placement and temp agencies, but I don't think that's the same thing you're describing. I've always just had to fill out applications. I really don't know what kind of options there are for when that doesn't work.
