Inclusive work environment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

More than 80% of our employees live with various functional limitations including intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), psychosocial disabilities (mental health conditions such as anxiety disorders, personality disorders, schizophrenia and depression), and physical disabilities (cerebral palsy, speech disorders, dysphasia, dyspraxia, visual impairment, hearing loss and neurological conditions).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A Pride factory<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Groupe TAQ is much more than a factory, it is a Pride factory where each individual\u2019s abilities are recognized and developed. Personalized supervision, weekly training, workplace and process adaptations, and our collective cafeteria are just a few examples of the concrete social impact<\/a> we deliver.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

From interns to employees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

We proudly serve as an internship environment for students aged 16 to 21 with disabilities who are enrolled in work-preparation programs. Through partnerships with school service centres, interns acquire technical skills for semi-skilled trades while developing social and professional adaptability at TAQ.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n
