Introducing the new Centre for Workplace Accessibility

The Centre for Workplace Accessibility (CWA) is a central hub for information, tools, and resources to support faculty and staff with disabilities or ongoing health conditions. Our team of Workplace Accessibility Specialists provide a safe and confidential space to discuss accessibility and accommodation options at UBC. A new centralized Workplace Accommodations Fund, managed by the CWA, helps address financial barriers departments may face when accommodating a faculty or staff member. In addition to individualized support, the CWA seeks partnerships and opportunities to enhance disability inclusion literacy across the UBC community.
