Beyond post-secondary, persons with disabilities encounter significant barriers to participating in the labour market. 

  • “An estimated 1.9 million persons with disabilities aged 15 to 64 are not in school or employed.” (1) 
  • Of the 1.9 million, 852,000 have the potential to work. (1) 
  • Workplace bias, discrimination and non-inclusive environments perpetuate the low rate of employment among persons with disabilities. (1) 
  • “In 2022, the employment rate among those aged 16 to 64 with disabilities (65.1%) was 15 percentage points lower than the rate for those without disabilities (80.1%).”  (2)

By facilitating inclusive learning environments and providing learners with disabilities an equitable opportunity for success as well as access campus services, Colleges can have a positive impact on the transition to employment for persons with a disability.  

Humber has specific information for students with disabilities through the Career Services website

Please watch for our posts highlighting Humber and UGH graduates with disabilities throughout October in recognition of National Disability Employment Awareness month. 

Visit our ALS Information for faculty website to learn more about accommodating students with disabilities.

The Student Fees & Financial Resources hub was recently refreshed and everyone is encouraged to check it out at our Admissions webpage, or on the Financial Resources website or Humber's Financial Aid webpage.*

Recognizing that financial considerations are always top of mind and a considerable source of anxiety and stress, this refresh aims to provide a wealth of supportive information in an engaging and uncomplicated way.

Featuring an anchored menu to easily navigate available topics, the hub has been designed as a central location for links to more detailed fees and financial aid information as well as the various financial resources available at Humber. From the work-study program to the many ways to save on- and off-campus to the financial literacy workshops offered throughout the academic year, students will be able to use this page as an entry point to information that can help them feel more in control of their finances with the full support of their Humber community. 

Coming soon, a section will be added with 'Tips from your Humber Community' sharing financial resources content from Humber's social media accounts tagged with #MyHealthyHumber #SavingTips.

Be well and enjoy exploring the "new" financial resources hub!
