Real skills.
Greater independence.
New possibilities.

For too many adults with developmental disabilities, the transition from education to employment remains uncertain. Skills and potential are not always matched by opportunities to develop, demonstrate and apply them.

We founded Precision Works to help address that gap.

We are Omar Elmi and Zeinab Ali, husband and wife and co-founders of Precision Works, an Ottawa-based organization dedicated to vocational training and employment preparation.

Omar Elmi, entrepreneur and founder of DIVERTEK Solutions, brings years of experience in information technology, technical education and business development.

Zeinab Ali brings a background in human resource management and leads key areas of organizational strategy, operations, partnership development and program planning.

Together, our experience informs how we design and deliver Precision Works programs, with practical learning, individual support and workplace preparation at their core.

The curriculum brings together computer and IT skills, digital literacy, workplace communication and simulated work environments, including opportunities to practise customer service and inventory management.

Preparing someone for employment and creating a pathway into employment are not the same thing.

That is why our vision includes building relationships with families, educators, employers and community organizations to help connect training with opportunities beyond the classroom.

We know that earning the trust of families, participants and community partners requires more than a clear mission. It requires consistent program quality, thoughtful support and accountability in how we deliver on our commitments.

Our success will not be defined by enrollment numbers alone, but by how well we prepare participants for the opportunities and responsibilities that lie beyond our classrooms.
