Employers are reaching out to underrepresented demographics to help bridge the talent gap.

Become a Discover Ability Network campus lead. The Ontario Chamber of Commerce is an advocacy organization connected to 60,000 business in Ontario and advocates on their behalf at Queen’s Park to create government policy that is in the interest of the business community in Ontario. Through our advocacy, we know that businesses face challenges finding talent and need help in navigating the labor market. Businesses have realized that it’s a smart business philosophy to hire from all demographics and have asked the Ontario Chamber Of Commerce for help with finding skilled labor from underrepresented demographics, which includes persons with disabilities. We need your help with promoting the Discover Ability Network to students who self-identify as person with disabilities. The project helps students with disabilities get hired by matching them to opportunities suited to their skillsets and interest. There are 15,000 business on the Discover Ability Network, ready to hire students who have a disability – So help us make the connection!
