“I’m loving my job so far. Having a job has helped my mental health so much.”
– Program Participant

Sure, access to employment brings a paycheck. But it also builds confidence, self-esteem, a sense of belonging, pride, and growth.

With the right support and an inclusive workplace, people can build meaningful careers in environments where they are valued and understood.

This is what access looks like.

More than 1 in 4 Albertans live with a disability.

That’s a significant, and often overlooked, talent pool.

Inclusive hiring doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right support, workplaces can become more accessible, more inclusive, and stronger because of it.

At EmployAbilities, we help employers connect with talent and build successful, accessible and diverse workplaces.

Today marks the beginning of National AccessAbility Week.

It’s a time to recognize the contributions of people with disabilities—and to reflect on the barriers that still exist in our communities and workplaces.

At EmployAbilities, we see every day how access to employment changes lives. When people are given the opportunity to work, they gain independence, confidence, and a stronger connection to their community.

This week, we’ll be sharing experiences, insights, and the impact of inclusive employment.
