    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.

    Career laddering to sustainable employment -- #MotivatingMondays Episode 65

    In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we take a closer look at career laddering for the client or student who wants the quickest return to the job market possible. Entry-level jobs are it risk from AI and other forms of automation but career laddering provides a pathway to better, more secure employment. Even for something like construction, a person might start off as a labourer; then complete a pre-apprenticeship program in carpentry; and eventually a Red Seal ticket as a carpenter. I think we can all agree that a carpenter has a much stronger labour market attachment than a construction labourer.   #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.

    Job search isn't just for extroverts -- #MotivatingMondays Episode 64

    In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we take a closer look at the challenges introverts face in a job market designed for extroverts. Job search by its very nature requires people to draw on the skills, abilities and natural disposition of extroverts, which can be a challenge for their introvert counterparts. We need to help introverted clients understand they are being judged against candidates who are more comfortable articulating their strengths. Just as with all job search candidates we need to emphasize there is nothing wrong with discussing their strengths, touting their achievements and making a sincere connection with a prospective employer.   #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.

    'Doomjobbing' This can't be good! -- #MotivatingMondays Episode 62

    In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we’re going to talk about the new 'Doomjobbing' trend, a variation of 'doomscrolling' on social media, a habit which can become a way of engaging with a problem that feels outside our control. Getting hired, by its very nature, feels outside of our control and so there is a natural tendency to try to apply for as many jobs as possible.   #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.

    Challenging employers to create 10,000 new jobs -- #MotivatingMondays Episode 61

    In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we’re going to share details about a national initiative to support the employment of 10,000 individuals with disabilities between now and October.
