This video released by JOIN (Job Opportunity Information Network) shows that a growing number of Canadians are being routinely shut out of the workforce. According to recent data from Statistics Canada, nearly four and a half million Canadians – one out of seven – live with a disability. Many of those people are excluded from the workforce because of misconceptions that they’re not as skilled, capable or motivated as others. This not only hurts individuals with disabilities – it hurts Canadian employers because they are neglecting a large and talented labour pool in a time when there are job shortages in many sectors.

JOIN and its more than 20 member agencies offer a wide range of assistance in finding a job – from creating a resume, to job searching, to getting ready for interviews.
