Susan is looking for employment as a career development practitioner. She has hearing loss.

“Hearing loss impacts my ability to clearly hear the spoken word. This is a drawback in interviews, as well as a liability on the job,” she shares.

Through WorkBC Assistive Technology Services, she received funding for hearing aids with Bluetooth connectivity. She now feels much more confident in the job search process.

“The accommodations greatly improved my ability to hear the spoken word and enhanced my performance in interviews, both in-person and online,” she explains. “I am sure the devices will make a difference in my work with clients.”

Susan recommends WorkBC Assistive Technology Services to others in need.

“The program is a huge boon to anyone who has experienced a disability such as mine,” she says. “I would like to thank the staff [at] WorkBC Assistive Technology Services [. . .] for their excellent service and understanding of client needs.”
