Enabled Talent, a Canada-based inclusion and accessibility technology company, has expanded into the United States with the launch of Enabled Veterans, a workforce initiative designed to address persistent employment barriers facing U.S. military veterans with disabilities. The program targets systemic gaps that continue to limit workforce participation despite veterans’ extensive training, leadership experience, and transferable skills.
The U.S. currently has approximately 18 million veterans, and approximately 30-35% of these veterans have a service-connected disability. The statistics based on the U.S. Department of Labor and the Department of Veterans Affairs demonstrate that veterans with disabilities have a lower employment rate than either nondisabled veterans and the rest of the civilian labor force. More noticeably, this is the case among veterans with multiple and invisible disabilities, as well as veterans entering the civilian workforce within the first five years of separation.
Enabled Veterans adopts the systems-level perspective, unlike the job placement sort. It does its work in three interconnected areas, such as enhancing the hiring systems through the use of recruitments, bias-screening, and on-boarding; providing more understandable labor market pathing in order to convert the work experience of the individual to match the accommodations needed; and building an institutional collaboration process among the government, institutions, and workforce.

“Veterans with disabilities are not underqualified—they are underserved by systems that were never designed with accessibility in mind,” said Sahil Gogna, Chief Growth Officer at Enabled Talent. “Enabled Veterans focuses on fixing the infrastructure around work so that veterans can compete on merit, not be filtered out by design.”
The U.S. expansion builds on Enabled Talent’s broader mission to make work accessible for 1.3 billion people with disabilities globally. Its AI-powered platform supports inclusive hiring, accommodation planning, and sustained workforce participation, helping employers and governments reduce exclusion-driven economic losses.
“Technology plays a critical role in whether access is enabled or denied,” said Jeby James, Chief Technology Officer at Enabled Talent. “We’re building systems that recognize real skills, respect accessibility needs, and integrate seamlessly into how employers already hire—so inclusion is practical, scalable, and measurable.”
Following this product announcement, Enabled Talent has many other initiatives in store that relate to students with disabilities stepping into the workforce, candidates that are also considered to be part of the neurodiverse community finding work in a non-tech industry, and also those that transition from government aid to becoming sustainably employed in a company. The company has just received recognition as a Top Tech Innovator of the Year from CEO Magazine.
