Connector Tool

Welcome to THRC’s Connector Tool, an online database of organizations and information that can help employers build more inclusive workplaces for people with disabilities.

Search by keyword, location where support is needed, language you would like the support offered in (French or English) and type of support you are interested in.

Help us build this database. If you have read a report, used a tool or connect with an organization that has helped you, share it with THRC and we can add it to the database info@truckinghr.com
