The Canadian Association for Supported Employment (CASE) published the Sparking Conversations: What Helps and Hinders Employment for Persons Experiencing Disability Kit. In partnership with the Centre for Community Based Research, CASE conducted a qualitative study to better understand what helps and what hinders the employment journey for persons experiencing disability.

The kit was developed to share the findings from the study and to encourage people to reflect on and have conversations about disability and employment. Designed for anyone interested in learning more about disability inclusion, the kit also features practical information for employment service providers and employers.

Included in the kit:

  • About the project
  • Key themes from the study
  • Opportunities to improve employment and workplaces
  • Employment journeys of 15 persons experiencing disability – 11 written and 4 on video
  • Employer perspectives of workplace accessibility and inclusion – ECO Canada and Tourism HR Canada
  • Activities for reflection and to spark conversations for anyone interested in learning more about disability inclusion and for employment service providers, employers, persons with lived experience, and community organizations
  • Additional complimentary resources
