As our Employer Career Fair comes to an end, we want to make sure you’re ready to welcome youth with disabilities onto your team. Here are some key ways to make your workplace more inclusive: Takeaways: • According to Carolyn McDougall, one thing all employers can do is ask all interview candidates and employees "what helps you to do your best at work?" As the manager of Holland Bloorview’s Employment Pathways program she shared “That single question is the foundation of an inclusive workplace with accommodations for all employees.” • Youth with disabilities need the same opportunities as their peers to volunteer and work. As a workplace interested in hiring co-op students and interns, connecting with an employment ally organization or school district is a great way to find young people with disabilities who are #ReadytoWork! • The idea that all accommodations cost money is a myth! In fact, Job Accommodation Network’s study found that “56% of accommodations cost absolutely nothing to implement $0, while the rest of the accommodations made had a typical cost of only $500.” Accessibility and inclusion can be free of financial barriers. #ReadyToWork

📣Have an honest conversation about reasonable accommodation!📣 Oscar Ruiz is an inspiring individual who has overcome challenges and achieved a remarkable career despite having cerebral palsy. He currently serves as an Equal Employment Opportunity and Disability Expert at the US Department of Defense and has significant experience with persons with disabilities in the workplace. He highlights critical elements of reasonable accommodation here: ➡️ There are misconceptions about hiring persons with disabilities. One common misconception is the belief that providing reasonable accommodations is prohibitively expensive and involves complex modifications. While there might be associated costs, these accommodations often yield significant benefits in terms of diverse perspectives and valuable skills. ➡️ If you've identified a candidate who is the best fit for the position and their disability necessitates accommodations, have an honest conversation. Remember, most of the time, these discussions lead to positive outcomes that enhance both the candidate's performance and the overall work environment. Thank you, Oscar for sharing your perspective with us! Ready to advance your career? Join our online Global Career Fair on 16th November, for Persons with Disabilities.
