Breaking Barriers Employment Initiative

At PACE, we believe employment should be accessible, flexible, and empowering. Our Breaking Barriers Employment Initiative connects businesses with reliable workers while creating meaningful job opportunities for individuals facing barriers. Whether you’re a business looking for a smarter staffing solution or a job seeker in need of supportive, flexible work—PACE is here to make employment work for you.

A Different Approach to Hiring

Instead of a one-size-fits-all hiring model, PACE works with businesses to structure roles that multiple workers can share, ensuring consistent coverage while allowing for flexibility. This model benefits individuals who may not be able to work full-time due to various barriers, such as mental health challenges or physical disability. It also provides businesses with a dependable workforce without the administrative burden of managing multiple part-time hires.

For Businesses: A Smarter Way to Hire

Let’s be real: hiring can be a headache. Finding reliable people, managing schedules, handling turnover—it all adds up. But what if your labour solution didn’t just fill shifts, but also changed lives? Enter PACE’s Breaking Barriers Employment Initiative—a game-changing way to build a flexible, diverse, and socially impactful workforce without the usual hiring stress.
