October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month.
Our economic growth depends upon entrepreneurs; So, give people with a disability an opportunity.
Employment programs need to support individuals with a disability, rather than the large company employer, and SMEs need to tap into the disability talent pool.
Small businesses have been called the backbone of our economy, as businesses with fewer than 100 workers employ about 65% of the total private labour force in Canada. In total, SMEs employ about 88.5 percent of the private sector workforce highlighting the important role SMEs play in employing Canadians. SMEs’ contribution to gross domestic product is about 55% compared to the 45% of large businesses.
