Adapted companies are all non-profit organizations or cooperatives accredited by Emploi-Québec and subsidized by the Programme de subvention aux entreprises adaptées (PSEA). Their workforce must always consist of a minimum of 60% workers with limitations.
In an adapted company, exceptional workers:
- discover a new way of life;
- are accompanied, supervised, and trained;
- come out of their isolation, socialize, integrate;
- contribute to the development of their communities;
- improve their personal and financial autonomy;
- become full-fledged citizens and workers!
