It's estimated that if we could create an equitable entry point for people with disabilities into the job market, we could tap into a potential pool of around 645,000 more candidates. In this episode, we’re joined by Nevena Dragicevic and Jordann Thirgood, of CSA Group (formerly Canadian Standards Association) to explore the challenges faced by people with disabilities in Canada, the importance of an intersectional approach, government intervention, and the need for a holistic support system. Importantly, this episode unpacks the core findings in their report “A Path Forward: Advancing Disability Inclusion in Canada” and contextualize the significance of The Accessible Canada Act, which aims to build a barrier-free Canada by 2040, and additional policies like The Disability Inclusion Action Plan – implemented in 2022.
