Au sujet de l’entreprise: 

Enabled Talent is a Toronto-based technology company building a dedicated career and employment platform for university students with disabilities. The platform is designed around the full student journey, from co-op and experiential learning through to early employment, with accessibility built into every step rather than added as an afterthought.
No current system brings co-op management, accessible job matching, co-design project listings, peer support, and career progression tracking together in one place for students with disabilities. Enabled Talent is building that shared infrastructure for Canadian post-secondary institutions.
The company holds two patent-pending technologies in candidate matching and adaptive interview scheduling, and works with institutional and government partners across Ontario and internationally.

Veuillez décrire le projet.: 

Students with disabilities at Canadian universities navigate their academic and career journeys without tools designed for them. Disability services offices handle accommodation. Career centers handle employment. Neither system talks to the other, and students fall through the gap between them. Enabled Talent is building the platform that closes that gap.
The platform is built around four areas that no existing system covers together. Co-op and experiential learning: students access structured paid placements matched to their accommodation profile and program, with accommodation requirements confirmed before any placement is offered. Early jobs: entry-level and part-time roles listed with full accessibility information, with students filtering by what they need before reading a description. Co-design projects: students with disabilities contribute their lived expertise directly to companies and governments building tools for disability and aging populations, with defined scope, timeline, compensation, and academic credit. Peer and assistive learning community: a structured space where students connect with peers, alumni, and institution staff around employment, assistive tool use, accommodation at work, and career transitions.
The assistive dimension runs across all four areas. Students interact with an accommodation-aware career coach, see skills gap analysis relative to active opportunities, and control exactly what accessibility information is shared with each employer. Companies and governments commissioning co-design projects get structured access to students with specific disability expertise, governed through the platform with ethics and compensation built in.
The platform is designed from the start as a shared model across Canadian post-secondary institutions. Student data stays with the institution. Nothing reaches employers without institutional approval.
