About the Project
The Mid-Career Workers with Disabilities (MCWD) project, operating with grant funding from Canada’s Future Skills Centre (FSC), addresses career adaptability by targeting the adaptive response skills development needs of MCWD. Through fostering and strengthening career adaptability, the project aims to potentiate other work underway to lessen the barriers MCWD and other disability cohorts face in the Canadian labour market.
