A new inclusive employment platform is launching nationwide to tackle one of Canada’s most persistent workforce challenges: disability inclusion.
Enabled Talent, founded by Amandipp Singh, aims to help close the employment gap for the 1.9 million working-age Canadians with disabilities—more than 852,000 of whom remain excluded from the workforce. Singh, who has partial vision himself, created the platform after facing systemic barriers in traditional hiring systems.
“Most platforms aren’t designed with accessibility in mind,” Singh says. “That means countless qualified candidates are overlooked—not because they lack skills, but because the system isn’t built for them.”
Enabled Talent flips the script by using AI-powered job matching based not only on qualifications but also on candidates’ accommodation needs and accessibility preferences. The platform also offers coaching, bias-free job matching, and accessible profiles for job seekers, while giving employers practical tools to support inclusive hiring.
With early adopters already onboard from the tech, nonprofit, and education sectors, Enabled Talent is gaining traction with the support of ecosystem partners like BC Tech, BHive,Treefrog, YSpace- York University & SICIEEIL – University of Toronto.
As Canada advances frameworks like the Accessible Canada Act and the Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) 2022, Enabled Talent emerges as a timely, tech-driven bridge between policy and practice. With nearly 50% of working-age Canadians with disabilities unemployed, the platform helps unlock a vast, overlooked talent pool through inclusive, accessible hiring solutions.
