Ready, Willing and Able (RWA) is a national partnership of Inclusion Canada (formerly the Canadian Association for Community Living), Autism Alliance of Canada (formerly Canadian Autism Spectrum Disorders Alliance (CASDA)), and their member organizations. Funded by the Government of Canada, RWA is designed to increase the labour force participation of people with an intellectual disability or on the autism spectrum.
As a national strategy to develop inclusive and effective labour markets, RWA will:
- Connect and support employers, persons with intellectual disabilities or ASD and local, provincial and national community agencies
- Promote understanding and awareness among employers and the general public as to the business value of hiring people with intellectual disabilities or ASD
- Complement and enhance the capacity of community employment service delivery organizations by connecting them to new employer demand
The Inclusive Workplace is a free, bilingual online resource aimed at promoting inclusive hiring in Canada. Launched in April 2021, it is a new resource and training hub to support the learning needs of businesses committed to building workplace inclusion. You will now find all RWA training materials such as our RWA Works eLearning series available for free through The Inclusive Workplace.
A partnership project of Inclusion Canada and The Autism Alliance of Canada, The Inclusive Workplace supports job seekers and employees who are on the autism spectrum or have an intellectual disability, businesses, and employment agencies.
