We welcomed Odette Dantzer, of WorkAble.  Odette Dantzer is the Program Lead for Work-Able, a 12-month paid internship program that hires recent post-secondary graduates with disabilities. Interns gain public service experience while increasing their personal growth, skill development, knowledge, and confidence. Overall, since the Work-Able program began in 2015-2016, there has been a 59 percent retention rate in the BC Public Service.  https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/careers-myhr/job-seekers/internship-co-op-opportunities/work-able [email protected] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-VvVyxk3SU&ab_channel=SquarePegSociety
