Welcome to the home of the 10 by 10 Challenge.

There are currently over 360,000 working age people with disabilities in British Columbia. They have the motivation, education and abilities to be valuable members of our workforce and communities, yet they face an employment rate about 20% lower than the rest of the population – 56.5% versus 74.3% (based on 2006 Participation and Activity Limitation Survey).

The Minister's Council on Employment for Persons with Disabilities invites communities and organizations to join the 10 by 10 Challenge to increase employment of persons with disabilities by 10%, or over 13,000 new jobs, by the year 2010.
