VAC’s Accessibility Action Plan 2022-2025 introduced the following mandatory courses from the CSPS:
- Addressing Disability Inclusion and Identifying Barriers to Accessibility (for all staff)
- Disability Management and Workplace Wellness (for managers)
In 2024, students, employees, and managers from nearly every branch of the Department have helped VAC towards its goal by participating in these courses. We continue to work towards ensuring all VAC staff have completed these courses. This work is ongoing, and we will continue to promote their completion through the use of performance agreements and the onboarding processes.
In addition to the mandatory training courses, many accessibility-related learning and training opportunities available to VAC employees. VAC continues to promote other training activities from the CSPS and other partners. At the time of publication, we noted more than 20 CSPS Accessibility training activities that employees can participate in (courses, videos, articles). VAC is committed to continue promoting the various Accessibility related training opportunities through its Accessibility@VAC intranet page, as well as through other media (emails to staff, MS Teams posts).
