| Emerging Workforce |
- Qualified job candidates are often overlooked by employers as a source of labour.
- When
given the opportunity to participate in the workforce, individuals with
disabilities tend to become long term employees, thus reducing training costs
in high turn over positions.
- Every
year a new group of high school students with disabilities search for summer
work and part time employment during the school year.
- At
POLARIS we work closely with four local colleges to support qualified and
skilled individuals to enter the workforce.
- People
with disabilities who have had jobs and those new to the workforce are
demonstrating that they do have The Talent for Work
- Including
people with disabilities in the workforce benefits employers and all British
Columbians.
