In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we discuss the feelings of discrimination many disabled job seekers are experiencing and the supports we can provide to address this with both employers and job seekers. Between 2017 and 2022, the percentage of persons aged 25 to 64 with disabilities who believed they had been refused an interview in the past five years because of their disability edged down from eight to seven per cent, and the percentage reporting a job refusal decreased slightly from 12 to 10 per cent. While it appears to be getting better, there's a lot more complexity to this.
#MotivingMondays, is a weekly YouTube series dedicated to help Canadian job developers and other employer engagement professionals develop the tools, resources, expertise and network needed to excel in achieving sustainable employment outcomes for their clients and students.
If you would like to join us LIVE, we meet every Monday morning online with job developers from across Canada to discuss a new topic. Meetings are 30 minutes and start at 8:30 Pacific; 9:30 Mountain; 10:30 Central; 11:30 Eastern; 12:30 Atlantic and at 1pm in Newfoundland and Labrador.
