We recognize the capability of persons with disabilities and support their choices for equitable and meaningful participation in society.
We believe that we achieve our mission through partnerships, teamwork, cooperation, trust and mutual respect among and with all stakeholders, employees and volunteers.
We believe that we are responsible to those persons we serve, and hold accountability to our stakeholders, members, community at large and our benefactors.
Above all, we believe that the CCRW exists to create an environment where persons with disabilities may attain equality of opportunity.
As a national registered not-for-profit organization committed to supporting and promoting the meaningful and equitable employment of persons with disabilities, we believe that it is essential to partner and form alliances with groups and organizations representing persons with disabilities; and to work closely with all levels of government to influence change in policy reflecting a strengthened commitment to person with disabilities.

Recent projects
Establishing a process for exit interviews
We would like students to come up with actionable suggestions for successfully conducting exit interviews with staff who leave. This should exclude staff going into maternity leave or retirement, and focus on staff who choose to accept a different employment option. We envision this project to include, but not be limited to: Examining our current processes around exit interviews. Establishing the procedure, protocols and actual questions we should use for conducting exit interviews. The results from this project will help our upper management team streamline the process as well as begin collecting and analyzing data from these interviews.
Hiring Consultancy
In the past, we have had challenges hiring and retaining top-quality talent. We would like to develop a system to effectively build our workforce. Working with students, we want to overhaul our hiring practices and implement structures best practices. Students should be prepared to: Evaluate our current recruitment and selection procedures. Develop hiring systems and processes, based on best practices and our organizational needs. Consider the use of psychometric tests, assessment exercises, and standardized interview practices. Present a revised hiring methodology for our organization to adopt, with references
Strategy: Employment Site for Canadians with Disabilities
As a non-profit organization, we have had previous success with a fee-for-service job posting website geared towards people with disabilities. In the early 2000's, this website had much success and continues to generate a small profit (as employers do have to pay a fee in order to post a position but it is free for jobseekers to use); however, as an organization we are unsure what to do with the site (whether to build it up, discontinue it, or continue as-is). We would like students to evaluate the site and resulting options and provide their recommendations to us, moving forward. Depending which option is selected, we would like to know what might be required (both financially and time commitments). The site is: https://www.workink.com/
Streamline our Job Posting efforts
We are looking for HR minded students to help streamline our job descriptions across our project sites. Students would collect the job descriptions, analyze them and create a template for the description and posting format as well as do some research on other similar roles and what they included in their descriptions/postings. We have current job descriptions that are currently used for different projects across different locations, but are looking to consolidate and simplify the job posting process. We're looking to have students analyze them, provide any feedback on KSA's and evidently, create a universal template. This template would ideally be based of our current offerings, and other things we can include based on research on similar roles. Furthermore, we would want to highlight our unique workplace culture and values within the postings to additionally attract candidates to CCRW. To accomplish this, we believe you should focus on: Reviewing our current job postings Consolidate the job postings into 4-6 various templates Recommend additional information that should be included within the postings that highlights CCRW's values and workplace culture Provide recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of how we advertise and market job vacancies themselves. You will be provided access to a member of our leadership team, who will provide job postings and information as necessary. We hope to improve our current job posting process by exciting our new employees and helping them be more successful. We also want to make our job posting experience more aligned with industry best practices.
