Reham is currently job searching and enrolled in training. While completing coursework and developing job-ready skills, she is also preparing for an upcoming practicum placement.

“I experience functional limitations that affect my concentration, energy, and ability to complete tasks efficiently for long periods,” she shares. “This impacts my job search and training, and I require assistive tools to support learning, organization, and productivity.”

Her WorkBC employment counsellor referred her to WorkBC Assistive Technology Services for help funding the hearing aids she needs for the job search and her future employment.

“The hearing devices improved my ability to listen, understand instructions, and participate in training sessions. This has helped me focus better and complete my tasks more effectively,” she explains. “Since receiving the hearing assistive devices, I have been able to continue my training, prepare for my practicum, and actively search for employment with increased confidence and independence.”

William works as an auxiliary employee for a city-owned golf course, working as a golf marshal, ensuring golfers keep up with the pace of play. “I have impaired hearing that makes verbal communication stressful when dealing with customers and other employees,” he shares.

His hearing clinic referred him to WorkBC Assistive Technology Services for help getting the hearing aids he needs for work. He applied, and in no time, received funding for a set of hearing aids.

“[My] stress headaches have disappeared,” he explains. “I can now be assured that what I hear is accurate, without asking a colleague or a customer to repeat themselves.

“I would definitely recommend the WorkBC Assistive Technology Services program through the Neil Squire Society to anyone who needs hearing aids.”
