Employment
What this priority area is about
Under the Accessible Canada Act, this priority area is about making sure employment practices are accessible. This means incorporating accessibility in every aspect of the employment life cycle.
Why it matters
Accessible workplaces and employment practices allow people to use their skills, advance in their employment, and succeed in supportive environments.
Including accessibility from the start strengthens every stage of the employment journey. It means designing employment practices that work for everyone.
This approach attracts diverse talent, reflects community diversity and removes barriers to build a workforce where everyone can contribute.
