Hi, my name
is Jason. I’m 28 years old. I’m from Windsor, Nova Scotia.
Like everybody else, I have a dream.
With MOBILA1 I have an opportunity to achieve that dream.
MOBILA1 is a concept which links social aspects with good business
practices.
MOBILA1 creates jobs for people with disabilities and adds value for
employers.
It’s Win-Win situation for everyone.
My name is Jason. This is MOBILA1
Think about the possibilities, not the disabilities.
Advertisers are advised to employ people with physical disabilities
to operate the MOBILA1 units in shopping malls, etc. The
advertisers, as well as their clients, will enhance their corporate
image by visually demonstrating their commitment to social
responsibility through employing this demographic. This will be a
special feature of MOBILA1 in Canada and USA where society has
placed a high value upon helping the disadvantaged.
AKAS, together with appropriate partners, have established the
MOBILA1 Ability Program to assist with hiring persons with
disabilities (optional but recommended) and to help ensure that
benefits are accrued from that decision.
Program includes:
-
Hiring assistance
-
Training (Management and MOBILA1 operators)
-
PR media kits for companies that support MOBILA1 operators with disabilities
-
Information on available benefits for companies who hire persons with disabilities

Background and
Rational for MOBILA1 Project
Over the past few decades Canadians have become increasingly aware
of the presence of people with disabilities and have become
sensitive to the need to recognize them as an important part of
Canadian society. This emerging social responsibility has been
especially important in the area of employment, as people with
disabilities offer Canada a huge talent potential.
Fortunately, the same technological advances that have restructured
the Canadian workplace in general have expanded the array of options
open to individuals with disabilities. People with disabilities want
meaningful work and the economic independence it brings.
AKAS Virtual Design of Nova Scotia, is pleased to be part of this
movement. Through creative ability and with a profit motive, AKAS is
opening the doors to new employment for people with disabilities.
The MOBILA1, a unique development of AKAS, will produce new jobs
across Canada and US for people with disabilities.
Our employment strategy for people with disabilities is
self- sustainable and profitable, and will not require ongoing
financial contributions from government sources. For this project we
have incorporated a new enterprise called AKAS Virtual Design which
we hope will become a self-sustaining business.
Project Objectives
The overall objective of this project is to increase employment
opportunities for job seekers with disabilities.
· To establish and operate a successful Nova Scotia-based
manufacturing company for mobile digital signage products.
· To design, manufacture and to successfully launch the MOBILA1
series advertising units.
· To establish a advertising network of Mobila1 Operators.
· To provide MOBILA1 units as a means of employment across Canada
for several hundred people with disabilities within three years.
We are inviting you to
become a partner and sponsor of this nation-wide pilot project. We

your positive corporate image as you will be participating in
assisting this job creation effort for people with disabilities. Our
existing supporters in non-profit agencies are already excited about
the possibilities this project can produce not only in our province,
but national wide.
