The unemployment rate for people with disabilities is alarmingly high. Although these people offer a great pool of talent, they remain untapped and detached from the mainstream workforce.
"A Difference of Ability" examines the daily challenges people with disabilities face and reveals the reasons why job seekers and employers experience difficulty connecting and how this can change.
The road to employment can be tough, but many successful relationships have been forged between job seekers and employers. People who have found success offer powerful insights, practical solutions and strategies for improving the employment situation in today's labour market.
Reviews:
The time is right for this documentary to be seen by employers, service agencies, prospective employees, the government and the public. Its messages are poignant and empowering and gives all groups concerned a blueprint for navigating their way to full engagement. When there is equity in employment practices and full participation from all sectors of our society, Canadians everywhere benefit. There is no reason why Canada should not be leading the way on fully maximizing the work potential of all of our entire citizenry.
� Steven Fletcher, Parliamentary Assistant to the Federal Minister of Health
We believe this documentary is a solid beginning in heightening sensitivity to employment issues. It�s an important blend of perspectives aimed at promoting change and success.
