At SMART Options we successfully work with over 100 individuals, both youth and adults, with developmental disabilities to find meaningful & rewarding employment.​



SMART Options has been contracting with Community Living British Columbia for over 20 years and works closely with employers in the Kamloops area to create innovative job opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities.

​



Through our contract with Ministry for Children and Family Development, we also run a pre-employment training program with youth (age 15 to18) and support youth to gain meaningful employment.

Recently, our team had the opportunity to learn about Motivational Interviewing, an evidence-based approach that reminds us that meaningful change isn’t created through advice or persuasion.

It comes from helping people explore what matters most to them, recognize when their current path no longer aligns with the life they want to build, and strengthen their own motivation to move forward.

At SMART Options, this reflects how we approach supported employment. Rather than trying to fit people into available jobs, we help people discover work that is meaningful to them, because lasting commitment starts with their motivation — not ours.

A huge thanks to Jim Laidlaw for generously volunteering his time to share his expertise with our team. We are grateful to the Day One Society for creating opportunities for learning, collaboration, and stronger community partnerships.

Employment support doesn’t always look like resumes and interviews.

Sometimes it looks like a workout.

Matt’s goal is to the join the military, and today we are supporting one of the many steps that will help him get there.

At SMART Options, we start with the person — not the job search.

We help people build the confidence, routines, skills and connections they need to move toward meaningful employment and the future they want to build.

Because employment success starts not before the first interview.

The job offer isn’t where our work ends — it’s where a new chapter begins.

From on-boarding to regular check-ins and ongoing problem solving, we’re here to help employers and employees navigate what comes next.

The best part? From recruitment through retention, our services are completely free for employers.

We’re here to help make hiring — and everything thy at comes after — a little easier.

Great talent isn’t always found through traditional hiring.

At SMART Options, we help employers discover candidates they may never have met otherwise — people whose strengths, potential, and reliability don’t always show up on a resume.

We take the time to get to know both the employer and the job seeker so we can make thoughtful matches and provide support throughout the hiring process.

If finding your next great employee has been harder than it should be, we’d love to help.

The workplace is changing.

People aren’t looking for environments where they have to mask, push through burnout, or fit into one narrow version of “professional”.

They do better when workplaces work with them — inclusive workplaces matter.

Not because it’s trendy.
Not because it “looks good.”
Because when people feel supported, valued, and set up to succeed, everyone benefits.

Stronger teams.
Better retention.
More connected workplaces.

Creating that kind of environment doesn’t happen by accident. It takes intention, practical strategies, and a willingness to keep learning.

We’d love to chat about bringing a workshop to your organization!

A few words that stayed with us 🫶🏻

We’re always grateful when people take the time to share their experiences with us.

We love getting to hear about the support, growth, connection and moments of reflection that can come from this work. It means a lot — and so do the people who work alongside us and trust us to be a part of their journey.

Thank you 🤍
