Job search for those with mental health challenges or cognitive differences -- #MotivatingMondays Episode 66

In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we take a closer look at the challenges faced in the labour market by those with cognitive differences as well as those with mental health challenges. Research from the Labour Market Information Council reveals that over 90% of Canadian job postings require social-emotional skills that can unintentionally screen out neurodivergent candidates. Over 40% also contain complex application processes or confusing jargon.Only 46% of adults with mental health-related disabilities are employed, compared to 80% of those without any sort of disability. #MotivingMondays, is a weekly YouTube series dedicated to help Canadian job developers and other employer engagement professionals develop the tools, resources, expertise and network needed to excel in achieving sustainable employment outcomes for their clients and students.If you would like to join us LIVE, we meet every Monday morning online with job developers from across Canada to discuss a new topic. Meetings are 30 minutes and start at 8:30 Pacific; 9:30 Mountain; 10:30 Central; 11:30 Eastern; 12:30 Atlantic and at 1pm in Newfoundland and Labrador.To start your FREE membership in the Canadian Job Development Network, please visit: www.JobDevelopment.org and click our membership tab: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/ieuhtvc Video Link: https://youtu.be/6bC5CjR0hxQEmail: [email protected]: www.JobDevelopment.org
