We recognize that it has especially affected persons with disabilities and increased inequalities in Canada’s workforce, so Building a Stronger Workforce will help job-seekers with disabilities find and keep jobs, while also improving workplaces. There has never been a more crucial time for organizations to be resilient, and we believe that inclusion and supported employment will enable the Canadian workforce to be more adaptable in the face of change.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_headline _id=”25″ ][cs_content_seo]To learn more about Building a Stronger Workforce, click here.\n\nSubheadline space\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”26″ ][cs_content_seo]You can also follow along with us on social media!
