In Ontario, 28% of adults aged 15 and older identify as having a disability (*Statistics Canada’s Canadian Survey on Disability).
That's more than one in four Ontarians.
Many people with disabilities have valuable skills, experience, and a desire to work. Yet barriers, both visible and invisible, can still make it harder to find and keep meaningful employment.
Imagine the impact if more workplaces focused on ability instead of assumptions?
At Career Edge, we use RISE & SHINE to guide how we work with job seekers and employers. It's our strengths-based, trauma-informed approach to helping people recognize potential, reduce barriers, and create more inclusive, fair chance workplaces.
Because when we remove barriers, we don't just create opportunities for individuals, we strengthen our communities and our economy.
If you are curious about inclusive hiring, connect with us today to learn how we can help!

Talking about yourself in an interview is where a lot of people get stuck, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. The key is to keep it simple and grounded in real experience.
Think about what you actually did and what the result was, rather than trying to sound perfect or overly rehearsed.
Use specific examples to bring your answers to life, and focus on impact. Don’t overcomplicate it, clear and honest is always better.
And like anything else, practice makes a huge difference the more you say it out loud before the interview!
If you need support, we can help you prepare for interviews and practice with mock interviews. Connect with us today!

The best hiring decisions often start with asking better questions.
- Are we hiring for potential as well as experience?
- Would someone from a non-traditional background feel welcome applying here?
- What assumptions are we making before we even meet a candidate?
These aren't easy questions, but they're important ones!
Every hiring process is designed with good intentions, yet small decisions can unintentionally create barriers for talented candidates. By taking time to reflect on our hiring practices, we can create opportunities for people to be seen for their skills, potential, and what they can contribute today.
At Career Edge, we use RISE & SHINE to guide how we work with employers. It's our strengths-based, trauma-informed approach to supporting more inclusive, fair chance hiring practices.
What's one question your organization could ask itself to make hiring more inclusive?
