Because people with disabilities face different barriers, it can be difficult to know where to begin. When it comes to culture change, conversations and stories are powerful. Listen and learn from conversations led by @Stephanie4BC of @GCaccessible. accessibleemployers.ca/resou…

🚨 The employment gap is real. In 2023, only 47% of persons with disabilities were employed compared to 67% of those without disabilities – a gap of nearly 20%! 💼 This #NDEAM, we're raising awareness about these disparities & reaffirming our commitment to closing this gap.
