Trucking HR Canada to Pilot Job Placements

July 31, 2019

Trucking HR Canada is embarking on a new project focused on supporting employers in better connecting with under-represented groups, the organization announced recently.

The initiative will focus on piloting job placements with people with disabilities, it said.

The project will support employers, employees and potential new hires in obtaining and/or maintaining employment in the industry.

Specific activities will include:

  • A job placement framework, and pilot for persons with disabilities interested in careers within the trucking and logistics sector. This will include wage subsidies for employers.
  • A coaching and mentoring resource for employers designed to support the onboarding and retention of persons with disabilities.

Roughly 20% of the population aged 15 or over — 6.2 million Canadians — are affected by a disability that limits their daily activities in one way or another. And according to the 2017 Canadian Survey on Disability, only 59% of those between 25 and 64 are employed, Trucking HR Canada said.
