October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month. The goal during this month is to increase awareness of the positive outcomes of hiring persons with disabilities in Canada. Employers are encouraged to take part in a nationwide campaign that highlights the positive contributions that employees with disabilities make to Canadian workplaces.
National Disability Employment Awareness Month is an excellent opportunity for employment service providers to demonstrate their ongoing commitment to Canadians with disabilities by paying tribute to the accomplishments of the many men and women with disabilities whose work helps keep the Canadian economy strong.
National Disability Employment Awareness Month gives us the occasion to have important conversations on how we can help break down the barriers, the stigma and the misconceptions about disabilities.
