TORONTO – Season three of the award-winning series Employable Me will premiere Wednesday, October 23, at 8 p.m. Eastern on AMI-tv, the company announced this week.
Employable Me is a six-part documentary series featuring job seekers who are determined to show that having a physical disability or neurological condition shouldn't make them unemployable. Seasons one and two of Employable Me captured Rockie Awards for Best Lifestyle Program at the Banff World Media Festival, and the Diversify TV's Excellence Award for Representation of Disability in the Non-Scripted Category at MIPCOM 2017.
The excellent series is produced by Thomas Howe Associates and provides an honest and emotional look at the challenges Canadians of varying abilities face in the job market. Each one-hour instalment features two job seekers who are blind, partially sighted or have a neurological condition such as Tourette Syndrome or Autism Spectrum Disorder as they embark on a journey to possible employment.
"Employable Me proves that no one is truly unemployable. We challenge companies to learn from and utilize the information presented to make their workplaces truly inclusive and diverse,” said says John Melville, AMI’s vice-president, programming and production.
