Dear Ministry of Social Development,
Under the Official Information Act, I request the following data regarding employment pathways for individuals with disabilities:

2. Of those participants, the number or percentage who successfully transitioned into permanent employment (part-time or full-time) with the same employer.
3. Data on the retention rates (employment lasting longer than 12 months) for individuals with intellectual or physical disabilities placed into large-scale retail or distribution sectors.
Yours faithfully,
