People with disabilities continue to face barriers throughout the employment journey, from recruitment and onboarding to workplace communication, technology and advancement.

These barriers are not inevitable. Employers can identify and address them by reviewing their policies, practices, spaces and systems with accessibility in mind.

More accessible workplaces create stronger conditions for people to participate, contribute and succeed.

CCRW’s Senior Learning Coordinator, Linda Brown, was recently featured on Accessible Media Inc.'s podcast in the episode “Reflecting on Transition: Changing Careers.”

The podcast episode explores career transitions, transferable skills, disability disclosure, and the value that lived experience can bring to the workplace.

As Linda shares: “In my experience, the older job seekers that may not have the digital skills, they make up for it in the dedication and the ability to learn those skills, the human component, their interpersonal skills, the wisdom and insights that come along from being an experienced person with disabilities. So I think there’s lots of opportunities for them there.”

🎧 Listen to the episode on our website, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify. Linda’s segment begins at the 15-minute mark.

Today is International Youth Day. 💜

Young people with disabilities have the skills, potential and aspirations to build meaningful careers, but barriers to employment can limit access to those opportunities.

According to the 2022 Canadian Survey on Disability, 81% of youth with disabilities who were neither working nor in school had the potential to work.

More recent data shows an ongoing employment gap. In 2024, 45% of youth with disabilities aged 15–24 were employed, compared with 55.8% of youth without disabilities.

Developed with support from the CASE - Canadian Association for Supported Employment Innovation Lab, CCRW’s research, "Promoting Employment Participation for Youth with Disabilities in Canada", explores employment barriers facing youth with disabilities and strategies for building more accessible pathways into the workforce.

This International Youth Day, we’re calling for more accessible pathways to employment so young people with disabilities have the opportunity to turn their potential into meaningful work.

Access should not depend on how hard you advocate for yourself.

At work, inaccessibility places an added burden on people with disabilities: explaining, proving, following up, and negotiating for the conditions they need to contribute. That burden may be invisible to employers, but it costs time, energy, and opportunity.

Employers cannot stop at awareness. They need to commit to learning, invest in training, and equip managers to respond with confidence and consistency.

People with disabilities should not have to become their workplace’s accessibility experts just to receive the support they need.
