It will improve and simplify services for people looking for work, as well as employers and service providers. The Centre for Inclusive Employment, previously known as the Disability Employment Centre of Excellence, will also support disability employment. It will be an evidence-informed, best-practice hub that provides resources, tools, and training to help providers deliver quality employment services for people with disability.
