Who is AIM CROIT – IAM CARES?
AIM CROIT – IAM CARES is a non-profit organization sponsored by the International Association
of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW), which provides an employment skills development program to people in the Montreal area who have a physical, sensory or neurological disability.
The program is designed to assist them in their search for stimulating and financially rewarding employment. The program – implemented in Montreal and Vancouver in 1989 – initially took shape
in the United States where it was set up in several large cities during the 1980s.
The members of the AIM CROIT-IAM CARES team share the following common vision: we believe
that persons with disabilities are willing to make use of their skills and talents and to take their
place in the workforce.
