Here's another #mythbustmonday ready to be busted 💪 Myth: People with disabilities are not qualified job applicants or have the education level. WRONG ❌ Fact: Over 1/2 of individuals with disabilities have high school diplomas & over a 1/3 have post-secondary diplomas.

October is Disability Employment Awareness Month (DEAM)! Here we presented the DEAM award to Brad McDonald of Sobeys Cold Lake. We also met an current employee who was a client of EmployAbilities! Shout out to CASE, and thanks to Gateway to Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Hub for sponsoring the awards.

Everyone deserves to access supports & resources that promote meaningful employment. DEAM Alberta showcases events that run throughout October celebrating, promoting & bringing awareness to inclusive employment practices for people with disabilities who face barriers to employment.
