This study focuses on employees with disabilities within the Canadian federal public service. Its goal is to investigate the factors that facilitate or hinder career transitions at key points. These transitions are moments of significant change. They include the points where employees:

• join the public service (for example, when they are hired);
• move within it (for example, when they get promoted); and
• leave the public service (for example, when they quit or retire).

Career advancement and professional success can often be determined not only through task completion but also through “hidden expectations” in informal social interactions in the workplace. This study will examine how unrecognized social interactions can impact career progression for autistic individuals. It will identify and enhance understanding of employment barriers to inform inclusive employment standards. 

This study will review the most recent and relevant information on accessibility in the built environment for people with all types of disabilities. It will also identify existing barriers.
