Amber Hicks coordinates the RINT Project, a federally funded program at REES in Winnipeg that helps clients with physical disabilities and/or health conditions and employers create sustainable and inclusive work environments together. She serves on Manitoba Supported Employment Network’s Disability Employment Awareness Month (DEAM) committee and Manitoba Association for Career Development’s board, as well as MACD’s Career and Workforce Development Month Committee. Amber is a certified Employment Counselor, Job Coach, Work/Life Strategist and Strong Interest Inventory Practitioner.
