Job strategy for Ontarians with disabilities lacks specifics, critics say

Lucas Oleniuk, Toronto Star, June 6, 2017
The province’s new strategy to address the high unemployment rate among Ontarians with disabilities was panned by advocates who said it lacks specifics and will take months if not years to have an impact. Plan focuses on students and youth, and aims to connect employers with potential workers. But advocate David Lepofsky says it is not the immediate, practical strategy that was needed. Tracy MacCharles, the minister responsible for accessibility, told the Star in an interview that the strategy will particularly focus on helping students and youth better plan and prepare for employment, as well as try to connect employers with potential workers.
