In a world where over $1.9 trillion in GDP is lost annually due to the exclusion of people with disabilities from the workforce, Enabled Talent is stepping in to rewrite the rules of inclusive hiring.
Launched in Brampton, Canada, and now rolling out across Africa, Enabled Talent is not just another job board—it’s an AI-powered employment ecosystem built by and for people with disabilities. Founded by a partially blind entrepreneur, the platform leverages lived experience and advanced technology to make inclusive hiring intuitive, measurable, and scalable.
From Accommodation to Opportunity
Enabled Talent is designed to help governments, employers, colleges, and nonprofits create accessible pathways to employment—from hiring and onboarding to workplace inclusion. With features like bias-free job matching, DEI analytics, accessibility-first design, and inclusive onboarding tools, it’s a holistic solution for organizations aiming to close the disability employment gap.
“Enabled Talent highlights Brampton’s growing role as a hub for innovation and inclusive growth,” said Gurpartap Singh Toor, Chair of the Economic Development Committee for the City of Brampton. “It shows how local creativity and purpose can address global challenges like disability employment while setting a new standard for inclusive technology.”
A Global Movement Rooted in Brampton
Supported by the Brampton Innovation District, BHive Brampton, and the Canadian Business Disability Inclusion Network (CBDIN), Enabled Talent’s journey reflects how cities can catalyze global inclusion through innovation.
“Brampton is proud to be the launching ground for Enabled Talent—a platform that combines innovation with compassion and puts inclusion at the heart of workforce transformation,” said Patrick Brown, Mayor of Brampton.
The company’s inclusive mission also aligns with Canada’s Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) and its national vision for a Barrier-Free Canada by 2040, reinforcing the idea that inclusive design is not an afterthought—it’s the future of work.
Pilots, Partnerships, and Potential
Enabled Talent has already launched pilots across Canada, the U.S., Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, and Mali, partnering with employers, nonprofits, and universities to build accessible hiring hubs.
“Amandeep and his team showcase the strength and potential of Brampton’s innovation ecosystem,” said Vikram Khurana, CEO of BHive Brampton. “Enabled Talent’s journey from Brampton NEXT to global markets shows what’s possible when purpose meets perseverance.”
For Eve Adams, Executive Director of CBDIN, the platform represents a paradigm shift: “Enabled Talent is helping shift the narrative from accommodation to opportunity. When employers remove barriers and tap into disability-inclusive pipelines, they unlock innovation and resilience.”
As the platform expands globally, Enabled Talent isn’t just connecting job seekers with employers—it’s connecting innovation with inclusion, proving that accessible workforces aren’t just good ethics—they’re good economics.
