Global Objectives

We work with a set of global learning objectives that apply to NGO’s, Public Sectors, and Private Sectors.

For NGO’S

Our learning objective is to enhance your capacity to develop resources that enable the NGO sector to better influence relevant markets for the uptake and integration of new knowledge pertaining to the rights, needs and interests of people living with disabilities. This objective is particularly important when the mission of the NGO is to develop and disseminate new knowledge in the context of human rights legislation in Canada.

For Public Sectors

Our learning objective is to enhance the visibility and sustainability of policies and practices that guarantee the full integration and inclusion of persons with disabilities into the public workforce. This objective is particularly important when the mission of the public sector includes the full, barrier-free inclusion of all Canadians, without reference to any specific characteristic (ie age, ethnicity, religion, gender etc) in the public sector workforce; and when the public sector mission aims to represent diversity in the workplace by being a microcosm of the broader socio-cultural mosaic of Canada.

For Private Sectors

Our learning objective is to enhance the organizations’ capacity to understand the positive business aspects of including persons with disabilities in the private workforce.

This objective is particularly important when the private sector requires assistance / resources for assessing their policies and practices in the context of:

  • Good, ethical business.
  • Consumers and marketplace expectations.
  • The laws and provisions of relevant labour codes and human rights legislation pertaining to employment equity in Canada.

Our determination and focus on delivery of organic, interactive modules is guided by these global objectives – all in support of equity for persons with disabilities across Canada.

Myth: A person with a developmental disability and difficulty with fine motor control is unlikely to be able to handle complex operations on the production line of a manufacturing plant.
 
Fact: A person with this combination of functional limitations was hired for a production line job. The job involved labeling, filing, capping, and packaging a liquid product. The only accommodation supplied for the worker was the creation of a plywood jig. The jig enabled the worker to hold the bottle steady for correct labeling.
