They recognize that people with disabilities measure up when it comes to . safety records, career stabili­ ty, and the skills to get the job done. Remarkably, about 75% of people with disabilities are unemployed. This represents a huge untapped potential for our workforce. The Coalition for Persons with Disabilities in Peel, Halton and Dufferin is working to effectively change this statis­ tic. Employers in our community are overcoming outdated atti­ tudes by providing job seek­ ers with disabilities with the opportunity to work hard, to work smart and to work at a level consistent with their expectations. In fact, this community leads the nation in job creation by tackling accommodation issues, dis­ pelling myths and implement­ ing organizations such as Employment ACCESS who act on behalf of the employee and the employer.
