Disabled Workers Getting More Opportunities

Saint John MP Rodney Weston announcing the approval of $30 million dollars to help 1,600 Canadians with disabilities get jobs....the partnership will offer wage subsidies and other support to match workers with jobs suited to their skills. 

Weston tells CHSJ News there's a paradox when you have a labour shortage in an area with high unemployment....and part of that gap could be filled if employers were more willing to hire workers who might have some barriers.

Employers only have until November 16th to apply, so they're being encouraged to do so now.
