What We Do
Viable Calgary is about maximizing workforce potential by rethinking human potential.
Viable Calgary exists to link industry with the information, tools and resources required to attract and retain employees with disabilities.
How We Do It
Viable Calgary is a results oriented workforce initiative focused entirely on building productive linkages between industry, job placement agencies and people with disabilities. We have the experience and understand how employers can maximize their workforce through workplace culture and simple adaptations.
Services:
- Workforce Consultants: customizing action plans so you benefit from hiring people with disabilities.
- Website: linking you to information, expertise, resources and opportunities.
- Effective Strategy Forums: sharing best practices about successful recruitment and workplace strategies; networking with fellow employers.
- Career and Information Fairs: announcing upcoming events and opportunities to recruit
Why Viable Calgary? Why Now?
- The demographics of the Canadian labour force are changing and employers can now capitalize on all sources of human potential.
- Today's business environments need people who know how to adapt.
- Hiring the best person for the job is just good business sense and sometimes the best candidate is unexpected. Finding the 'best person' requires looking more broadly.
- This labour pool is available and ready to work NOW. People with disabilities remain an underutilized source of labour.
- Almost all employees require some kind of accommodation. Accommodating employees with disabilities may be unfamiliar, but it's easier than you think.
- Successful employers see past disability - they hire for ABILITY. It is time to redefine employable.
