More than 614,000 individuals of working age in British Columbia have a disability. Not all of these disabilities are visible outwardly, initially, or in ways one might assume. Despite comparable education and skill sets, these talented and diverse people represent an important talent pool that remains under-represented and overlooked in our workforce. When you prioritize accessibility in the workplace, you access the ability of thousands of skilled individuals who can help your business grow.
At Small Business BC, we’re proud to be a diverse and accessible employer. Through our partnership with the Presidents Group (Accessible Employers), learn how SBBC encourages and uplifts our team through the inspiring stories of Roop Johal, Business Development & Sponsorship Manager and Tom Conway, our CEO.
Our goal is to make SBBC’s educational resources as widely accessible as possible, while acknowledging we still have progress to make in providing barrier-free access to education year-round for this underserved community.
