The Division on Career Development and Transition established The Human Rights and Cultural Diversity Committee to assure that all youth with disabilities transitioning from high school are afforded the same rights and opportunities as their non-disabled peers.
The HRCD seeks to:
- establish collaborative relationships with other CEC Divisions concerned with the issues of human rights and cultural diversity;
- identify, publicize, and reward models and promising practices that support effective career development and advancement for all youth, regardless of gender and sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, language, religion, economic status, immigration status or severity of disability; and,
- recommend and support research, legislation and education to the DCDT Board regarding human rights and diversity.
