Inclusive Design for Employment Access (IDEA) announces new project to enhance workplace capacity to employ youth with disabilities

A new multi-year project is reportedly underway to help workplaces in Canada’s manufacturing sector retool their systems to better include youth with disabilities — especially neurodiverse youth, youth with intellectual disabilities and youth with mental health challenges. The project, co-led by Inclusive Design for Employment Access (IDEA) and the Centre for Industrial Relations and Human Resources (CIRHR) at the University of Toronto, will focus on reshaping workplace systems to build the capacity of workplaces to employ persons with disabilities.
