Training and employment support services (TESS) for persons with disabilities

Learn more about training and employment support for persons with disabilities.

Overview

The Training and Employment Support Services (TESS) component of the Employment Services Program helps New Brunswickers who have a permanent physical, intellectual, psychiatric, cognitive, or sensory disability.

The objective is to reduce or remove the impact of a person’s disability to help them participate in training or to resume and maintain employment. Any individual with a disability, whether they are receiving income support benefits or not, could be eligible for services.

Support is tailored to the individual needs of the client but may include:

  • supports necessary for a person with a disability to participate in training 
  • supports necessary for a person with a disability to obtain, to resume employment when it has been interrupted, and/or to maintain employment
