Vocational Rehabilitation

Longitude finds solutions to workforce challenges. For over 25 years we have provided services to persons who have been displaced from employment after illness, injury or changes in life circumstances; and to the organizations supporting these workers. Through assessment, skill building, vocational counselling and job placement, we help build pathways to rewarding new careers. We work with leading organizations providing short and long term disability plans; therapists, medical professionals and legal teams managing complex cases; and individuals seeking guidance and support in their return to work journeys.
