Hire This Kid! Promotional Video

Hire This Kid! is a pilot initiative that the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) Occupational Therapy/ Physiotherapy (OTPT) Services launched via Ministry of Education funding in collaboration with the TDSB Speech Language Pathology (SLP) Services to enhance the employability of students with disabilities post-graduation. This initiative aims to establish meaningful connections between businesses, organizations, and neurodivergent students by facilitating experiential learning (e.g. co-op) and potential employment opportunities that support skill development and workplace readiness.

In addition to connecting students with potential employers, TDSB OTPT in collaboration with TDSB Speech Language Pathology developed customized resources to support inclusive and successful experiences for both students and employers. In collaboration with industry partners, the initiative identifies effective strategies and best practices to better prepare students for long-term, sustainable employment.
