Hire for Talent is a national awareness campaign aimed at increasing employer confidence in hiring people with disabilities and provides resources to help employers tap into this talent pool during their search for skilled workers.

Delivered by CBDC Restigouche, Hire for Talent is designed to address the coming need for workforce diversity. This initiative is focused on disability as the primary diversity demographic because experience shows that this diversity group has a profound impact on workplace inclusion. Hiring workers with disabilities generates measurable improvements to a workplace’s culture, morale, staff retention, safety and innovation.

Hire for Talent is deeply committed to supporting Canadian employers to prepare for the future of work by building their capacity to attract and retain a diverse workforce. Aside from providing leading-edge resources, we believe in "collective wisdom" and bringing people together for effective working partnerships.

CBDC Restigouche:

The Restigouche Community Business Development Corporation (CBDC), based in Campbellton, New Brunswick. Part of the Community Futures Network of Canada, CBDC Restigouche delivers a range of small business support programs, as well as innovative programs and projects in the areas of training, research, HR management and career counselling.

CBDC Restigouche respectfully acknowledges that the Hire for Talent project was developed in Mi’gma’gi, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’gmaq. We also recognize the Wolastoqiyik and Peskotomuhkati peoples as the past, present and future caretakers of this land. This territory is encompassed by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship, which remain in effect today. Although developed on this land, the Hire for Talent project extends across the territories of various Indigenous peoples throughout Turtle Island. 

The Hire for Talent project seeks to promote inclusive and equitable employment practices across Canada, inspired by the spirit of Reconciliation and collaboration. By actively promoting diversity and inclusive hiring practices, the Hire for Talent project strives to play a role in the Reconciliation process and to uphold our commitment to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action. We adhere to Call to Action #92, which focuses on business and Reconciliation, by prioritizing the creation of equitable employment opportunities for Indigenous peoples. This also includes implementing staff training programs on the history and culture of Indigenous peoples. We commit to transparent communication and collaboration with Indigenous communities while ensuring that our employment practices not only meet but exceed the expectations for equity and inclusivity. 

We are all Treaty People.

Partnering Networks and Associations:

This project is being delivered in close collaboration with over 20 other organizations, including disability networks, service providers and business associations from across Canada. Go to the Partners page for more details.

Participation also includes at least one member group per province from the Community Futures Network of Canada – a national network of 268 not-for-profit organizations that provide small business services to people living in rural communities.
