A literature review by the University of Toronto on the benefits of hiring people with disabilities.
According to data collected from Accenture, employers who champion disability employment and inclusion experienced a 28% increase in revenue, doubled their net income, and had 30% higher profit margins. Additional benefits of hiring people with disabilities can include:
• Increased retention
• Attraction of a more diverse customer base
• A more inclusive and accessible work culture
Refer to this phase if you’re seeking to find and recruit qualified candidates with disabilities to your apprenticeship program. There are organizations that can help and several accessibility best practices we recommend you follow to attract apprenticeship seekers with disabilities to apply to your program.
