IAM CARES

What IAM CARES does

AIM CROIT (Association internationale des machinistes et des travailleurs et travailleuses de l'aérospatiale – centre de réadaptation, d'orientation et d'intégration au travail), operating under the brand IAM CARES, is a registered Canadian non-profit charitable organization (Charity number 869084004RR0001) founded circa 1990 and headquartered at 433 Chabanel Ouest, Montreal, Quebec. The organization provides free employment integration services to people aged 16 and over living with permanent physical or sensory disabilities who reside on the Island of Montreal. Service delivery is human-led and includes individual employment counseling, career path development, CV correction, labor market exploration, interview simulation, and job matching, supplemented by the JIPHSI employment preparatory program for youth aged 16-35 subsidized by Services Québec.

The organization runs no proprietary technology platform; its core "product" is the in-person and video-conference workshop and counseling infrastructure, delivered by a team of 17 staff and supported by a network of community, educational, and transit partners including CREP, Dress for Success Montreal, exo, and Urgences-santé. There is no API, no mobile app, and no AI component in the service offering. The website (aimcroitqc.org) functions as an informational and intake channel rather than a delivery platform.

The revenue model is fully government-subsidized. AIM CROIT is funded by the Ministère du Travail, de l'Emploi et de la Solidarité sociale, with all services provided free of charge to job seekers, employers, and community collaborators. As a non-profit, the organization has no stock, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and operates under an independent Board of Directors. Its go-to-market motion is community-led: referrals come from partner organizations, search engines, social networks, and word of mouth, with two weekly information sessions onboarding new participants.
