This 5 minute #DisruptHR rant is a few years old but the concepts I talk about are still true today. The only change is that working aged people with disabilities now comprise over 27% of the population. 1 in 3 of us will experience disability before we retire. Not really a minority group anymore. I talk about a number of these issue in the Career Development and Employment Inclusion Training that RealEyes Capacity is doing in partnership with ACDS next week. #Disability is #Diversity #SupportedEmployment #PDD #Alberta https://lnkd.in/g7T7ATaf
