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.
