Enabled Talent Canada has launched a national campaign called "One Company. One Talent.," calling on Canadian employers to create at least one meaningful opportunity for a person with a disability or from an underrepresented community. The campaign runs from May to October 2026 and aims to generate 10,000 new opportunities across the country.
Campaign Goals and Participation
The initiative encourages businesses, municipalities, colleges, universities, nonprofits, and industry associations to commit to creating a job, internship, co-op placement, apprenticeship, mentorship, volunteer role, or work-integrated learning opportunity. The goal is to demonstrate that inclusive hiring is both a moral imperative and a smart business strategy.
Why Inclusive Hiring Matters
More than 8 million Canadians—approximately one in five people—live with a disability, making disability one of the largest and most diverse communities in the country. Despite Canada's growing labour shortages and national commitments through the Accessible Canada Act and the Disability Inclusion Action Plan, many talented individuals continue to face employment barriers.
"Too often, talented people are overlooked because hiring systems were never designed with accessibility in mind," said Amandipp Singh, Founder of Enabled Talent Canada. "This campaign is not about quotas or compliance. It is about recognizing talent, opening doors, and creating opportunities that benefit both employers and jobseekers."
Technology Supporting Inclusion
Enabled Talent's AI-powered platform helps employers connect with skilled talent, improve accessibility, streamline accommodations, and build more inclusive workplaces. "Technology should remove barriers, not create them," said Jeby James, Chief Technology Officer. "Our goal is to make inclusive hiring practical, scalable, and accessible for organizations of every size."
The campaign aims to showcase inclusive employers, share success stories, and demonstrate how accessible hiring strengthens businesses, communities, and Canada's workforce.
