Communities of practice are integrated networks that address common challenges through the collective knowledge and expertise of their membership. The MentorAbility Canada initiative, offered through Canadian Association for Supported Employment, will demonstrate the power of mobilizing a national community of practice to develop promising practices around mentoring and inclusive employment strategies. Join our panel discussion as we share our findings.

Learning Outcomes:
  • Demonstrate the impact on employer outcomes, e.g. creating inclusive workforces
  • Share promising practices around mentoring, designed through collective input
  • Illustrate the facilitation and development of provincial inclusive employment approaches
