Inclusive Employment
CSIA brings you a portal of resources, stories and fact sheets you need to employ people with disability today.
Inclusion at work benefits everyone, not just people with disability.

Diversity is the most efficient way to encourage innovation in business. But to have a diverse workplace, inclusive practices for hiring, training, engaging and retaining employees is key.
In phase three of Inclusion Ready we focus on employment of people with disability not only for ILC grant applications but also to improve your workplace and the community at large.
