People with disabilities bring valuable skills, perspectives and experience to Canada's workforce, but barriers in recruitment and employment can prevent that talent from being recognized.

This National Disability Employment Awareness Month, we're encouraging employers to look more closely at how they identify talent, assess candidates and create opportunities.
Inclusive recruitment begins by recognizing what each person can contribute.

Accessible Employment Services provides resources and support for both job seekers and employers. Learn more at AccessibleWork.ca.

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month.
This year's theme, “Skills Grow Economies. Disability Inclusion Fuels the Growth,” recognizes the skills, experience and contributions people with disabilities bring to workplaces across Canada.
