OCTOBER 2019: EASTER SEALS CELEBRATES NATIONAL DISABILITY EMPLOYMENT AWARENESS MONTH

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month. It’s a month set aside to increase awareness of the positive outcomes of hiring persons with disabilities in Canada, promote employment inclusion for people with disabilities and celebrate the many and varied contributions of workers with disabilities.

Please help us spread the important message that a strong workforce is one inclusive of the skills and talents of all individuals, including individuals with disabilities.

National Disability Employment Awareness Month is an excellent opportunity for employment service providers to demonstrate their ongoing commitment to Canadians with disabilities by paying tribute to the accomplishments of the many men and women with disabilities whose work helps keep the Canadian economy strong.

Let’s make finding, hiring and supporting employees with disabilities part of the everyday.
