FREE EMPLOYER TOOLKIT

The toolkit offers a variety of informative tools. Learn about the skills people with disabilities bring to the workplace and use our ‘how-to’ resources, that provide practical tips and strategies on successful recruitment, hiring, inclusion and retention of people with disabilities.

COVID-19 Tools

COVID-19 has significantly impacted Canadian businesses, forcing many employers to adapt. The value of diversity and inclusion has never been as important as it is today. Employers seeking to recover from the pandemic will be looking to their teams for resilience and adaptability. Once the world shifts back to normal, businesses that foster an inclusive workplace and hire with diversity in mind stand to benefit the most!

Visit our new COVID-19 tools for further information on how hiring people with disabilities will translate into overall business success after the pandemic.

Programs and Funding Sources

There are provincial programs, funding sources and federally funded initiatives available to help businesses across Canada become more accessible and inclusive.

Some examples include:
  • Help for costs associated with implementing workplace adaptations, assessments or accommodations.
  • Grants to test innovative ideas that make it easier for people with disabilities to participate in the workforce.
  • Wage subsidies or paid training for people with disabilities (i.e. co-ops, fixed-term internships, and work experiences).
  • Apprenticeship training and industry-specific training that aligns with labour market shortages.
  • Courses and training for talent pools (i.e. first aid and food safety training).
