My guest this week, Joe Dale, is the Executive Director of the Ontario Disability Employment Network’s Centre for Excellence in Employment Services for People with a Disability.  The Centre for Excellence focuses on engaging and educating businesses about the benefits of hiring people with a disability and on ensuring Ontario has a strong and effective employment service delivery network.

Joe is also the founder of the Rotary at Work initiative, a program focused on educating businesses about the benefits of including people with disabilities in their workforce.

As a member of Former Lieutenant Governor David C. Onley’s Accessibility team, he participates on several provincial consultation teams related to policy creation and focus on disability matters.

These include the Partnership Council on Employment Opportunities for People with Disabilities and the Working Group on creating a Province-wide Employment Strategy for People with Disabilities.

He is an internationally renowned speaker, speaking to business, governments and not-for-profits on the issue of strategic engagement of people with disabilities in the workforce.
