NEW! Employer Lunch and Learn: Debunking the Myths and Celebrating the Benefits of Hiring Persons with Disabilities
With Tara Thom Burnett, Employment Facilitator, and Melissa Hejja, Employment Specialist
Tuesday, February 9 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific (2:00 p.m. Eastern)
Persons with disabilities in Canada make up 11 percent of the population aged 25 to 64. While the numbers are great, they are less likely to be employed or seek employment compared to those living without a disability. This reality remains despite numerous positive outcomes and success stories reported by employers across the nation. In many cases, employers are hesitant to hire a person with a disability due to a lack of information. If you are an employer who would like to diversify your staff by tapping into an underrepresented, aspiring, and talented group of individuals, this webinar is for you. Please join us for this informative session where we will discuss the myths and benefits of hiring a person with a disability, costs of accommodation, return on investment, and much more!
