[community] MaRS | CIBC Inclusive Design Challenge: Transform Support at Work for Persons with Disabilities - Feb 16, 2022

[John W (personal)]

Martin, thanks a lot for forwarding this info, I am sure there are many
people on this listserv who will be very happy to get the details.

To everyone: I am currently looking at potential solutions for the barrier
that many PWD either entering or already in the workforce lack networks to
help them develop their career, problem-solve and transition between jobs
and employers. I'm partnering with allies in government, community sector
and the business community, recognizing that we need a multi-sectoral
approach to solve the broader problem.

As we are in discovery phase, it would be great ot hear back if you are
working in this space (professional networking, mentoring, and advocacy
by/for professionals with disabilities) - we want to avoid duplication and
help to de-fragment our collective efforts.

thanks!
