BRAMPTON, Ontario, June 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Enabled Talent Canada today announced the launch of One Company. One Talent., a national campaign calling on Canadian employers to create at least one opportunity for a person with a disability or someone from an underrepresented community.
Running through October 2026, the campaign encourages businesses, municipalities, colleges, universities, nonprofits, and industry associations to make a simple commitment: create one job, internship, co-op placement, apprenticeship, mentorship, volunteer role, or work-integrated learning opportunity.
The campaign’s goal is ambitious but achievable: to help create thousands of new opportunities across Canada while demonstrating that inclusive hiring is not only the right thing to do, but also a smart business decision.
Why This 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.
Yet many talented individuals continue to face barriers to employment despite Canada’s growing labour shortages and national commitments through the Accessible Canada Act, the Disability Inclusion Action Plan, and the vision of a Barrier-Free Canada by 2040.
At a time when organizations are searching for talent, thousands of qualified individuals remain overlooked because hiring systems, recruitment processes, and workplace practices were never designed with accessibility in mind.
One Opportunity Can Change Everything
“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. If every organization committed to just one opportunity, the impact would be extraordinary.”
Founded by Amandipp Singh, a partially blind entrepreneur who experienced employment barriers firsthand, Enabled Talent was created to help employers access skilled talent while making hiring more inclusive, accessible, and effective.
Technology Supporting Inclusion
“Technology should remove barriers, not create them,” said Jeby James, Chief Technology Officer of Enabled Talent Canada.
“We built Enabled Talent to help organizations discover talent they may be missing while ensuring candidates can participate in the hiring process with dignity, accessibility, and confidence. Our goal is to make inclusive hiring practical, scalable, and accessible for organizations of every size.”
Through its AI-powered platform, Enabled Talent helps employers connect with talent, improve accessibility, streamline accommodations, and build more inclusive workplaces.
A Business Opportunity, Not Just a Social Initiative
Research consistently shows that inclusive workplaces benefit from broader perspectives, improved employee engagement, stronger retention, and enhanced innovation.
Canada’s disability community also represents significant economic participation and purchasing power, making accessibility and inclusion increasingly important business considerations.
Organizations participating in the campaign may also qualify for a range of government and partner-supported programs related to:
- Wage subsidies
- Internship and co-op funding
- Student placements
- Workplace accessibility improvements
- Training and workforce development
- Accommodation supports
Enabled Talent Canada will work with participating employers to help identify available funding opportunities and supports that may reduce hiring and implementation costs.
Recognition for Inclusive Employers
Organizations participating in the campaign will have the opportunity to be recognized for their commitment to inclusion.
Throughout National Disability Employment Awareness Month (October 2026), participating employers may be featured through:
- Employer Spotlight Stories
- Inclusive Employer Success Profiles
- Accessibility and Workforce Inclusion Case Studies
- National Awareness Campaigns
- Recognition as Inclusive Employer Champions
The campaign aims to celebrate organizations that are taking meaningful action to create a more inclusive Canadian workforce.
