Did you know that 27 per cent of Canada's population identifies as having one or more disability?  

According to a Deloitte study, businesses with inclusive cultures are eight times more likely to achieve better business outcomes. 

It just makes good business sense to access this talent pool and yet employers often resist hiring student with disabilities.

Staff, faculty, and community members are invited to attend either of the upcoming Transition to Work events and learn about workplace accommodations, and some tips and tools to help employers.

The Office of Human Rights & Harassment invites you to attend this start-of-the-semester refresher on the duty to accommodate.

During this session, we will provide an overview of the duty to accommodate for education service providers and employers and our obligations under the Ontario Human Rights Code. We will review the common grounds for which people might request an accommodation (i.e. family status, creed, etc.), undue hardship, and best practices when it comes to accommodation. We will also try to answer any questions about the duty to accommodate you may have. 

Event details:

• Tuesday, October 1, from 12 to 1 p.m.
• Wednesday, October 23, from 12 to 1 p.m.
