2022 Student Exit Survey Results for the Public Service (PS) by Question 36. How did you hear about the Indigenous Student Employment Opportunity or Employment Opportunity for Students with Disabilities? (Mark all that apply)

The results of the 2022 Student Exit Survey are presented according to the numerical order of questions, grouped by section theme as they appeared in the questionnaire. Results are not shown when there is no historical comparison, or when there is an insufficient number of responses.

Note: Due to rounding, percentages may not add to 100. The results have been grouped by summing the responses to the two most positive or two least negative answers and summing the responses to the two least positive or two most negative answers in the response scale. These grouped responses, Most positive/Least negative answers and Least positive/Most negative answers, are calculated by removing the "Don't know" and "Not applicable" responses from the total responses.

Accommodations

The duty to accommodate refers to the employer’s obligation to eliminate disadvantages to employees, prospective employees or clients that result from a rule, practice or physical barrier that has or that may have an adverse impact on individuals or groups protected under the Canadian Human Rights Act or identified as a designated group under the Employment Equity Act. It applies to all grounds of discrimination covered by the Canadian Human Rights Act: race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, sex (including pregnancy and childbirth), sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, family status, genetic characteristics (including a requirement to undergo a genetic test, or disclose the results of a genetic test), disability or conviction for an offence for which a pardon has been granted or in respect of which a record suspension has been ordered. Employers must provide accommodation up to the point of undue hardship, taking into account essential job requirements.
