What specific problem are you solving?
The global disability employment gap remains a critical issue, with 1.3 billion people worldwide living with disabilities, yet facing unemployment rates twice as high as those without disabilities. In Canada alone, 3.2 million working-age individuals have disabilities, but 741,000 remain underemployed due to systemic hiring biases, lack of accessibility, and limited workplace accommodations.
Despite 50% of individuals with disabilities holding post-secondary education, businesses struggle to implement inclusive hiring, with 19.8% lower employment rates for people with disabilities. This untapped talent pool leads to $338 billion in lost GDP potential annually.
Enabled Talent addresses this gap with AI-driven job matching, digital accessibility tools, and employer DEI compliance solutions, bridging the divide between skilled job seekers and inclusive employers. By leveraging technology, we empower businesses to access diverse talent, improve workforce participation, and create a barrier-free employment landscape at scale.
