This one-hour webinar will examine and build upon innovative practices which have been known to promote and further the inclusion, in the workplace and in society, of persons with disabilities.
The webinar will be hosted by the Office for Disability Issues, Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), and presented by two leading experts.
