For Quebec employers looking to fill open roles while building a more inclusive workforce, the Job Integration Contract offers practical wage support to make hiring more accessible. Delivered by the Ministère de l’Emploi et de la Solidarité sociale, this program helps businesses and nonprofit organizations bring a person with a disability into a regular work environment, whether the position is newly created or currently vacant. The goal is not just hiring, but successful integration and long-term job retention.
Support is provided as non-repayable funding that can offset a portion of employment-related costs, with amounts varying based on the role and the needs of the individual. Positions can be permanent or temporary and may be full-time or part-time, with flexible schedules starting at around 12 hours per week and up to a standard full-time workload. The role is expected to align with the employee’s abilities, making it easier for employers to adapt tasks and onboarding while maintaining productivity.
This program is well suited for SMEs, larger enterprises, and nonprofits operating in Quebec that want to address staffing needs while contributing to social inclusion. For employers interested in understanding how funding levels are determined, what workplace conditions apply, and how the application process works, reviewing the full program details can help clarify whether this opportunity fits their hiring plans.
