·	From Theory To Practice

The Promising Practices review was undertaken jointly by the Federal Government and five Provinces (Manitoba, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island).

There were nine Promising Practices selected for this review providing different approaches to assisting people with disabilities in making the transition to or return to employment. The review was largely undertaken to document how these Promising Practices operate and to identify factors or characteristics that were critical for their success. The review team was able to identify factors that were common to all Promising Practices as well as project specific characteristics that could be transferable to other programs or services. These factors can now be used by federal and provincial jurisdictions in designing new initiatives or in evaluation and review processes of existing programs.

From the perspective of the Provinces, the report also provides a description of initiatives in the other participating provinces that can be considered for program enhancement or development within their jurisdiction. Therefore, the review and final report provides a document that not only identifies critical characteristics of employment services for people with disabilities, it also provides a reference document of already proven effective practices for provincial jurisdictions to consider for alternative or enhanced programming within their own jurisdictions.

The joint Federal-Provincial Promising Practices Sub-Committee that worked with the contractor throughout the review is satisfied that the objectives of the review have been met. In addition, the Sub-Committee believes that when the final report is distributed, it will promote information sharing and networking among those involved in the delivery of employability programming for people with disabilities. This in turn will have a positive benefit to the overall integration and inclusion of people with disabilities in Canadian society.
