Transcript Partial transcript

Machine transcription of this recording. The words are the recognizer's, except where a passage is marked as corrected or machine re-recognized; most have not been checked against the audio, so words, numbers and names can be misheard. It describes what was said. It cannot establish who voted how, an amount or an outcome. A time links to its passage, and “Copy link” copies that link. “▶ Play” opens the recording at that moment, on YouTube; on this page it moves the player above the transcript.

How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 1 voices separated from the audio. 1 short machine repair(s) (1 word(s)) are labelled in place, with the original words beside them: an ordinary word was replaced only where two further machine readings agreed on a different one. Checks run on this transcript: the recognizer's own warning signs, whether a voice was detected where the words are and a language review for likely mishearings. A second, independent machine reading was compared with it word by word: the same words for 97.2% of 538 content words. Dotted words (7 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading. 9 passages (15% of the words) are marked suspect: their words are not shown ("unclear audio") and support no statement: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ; the language review questioned them; or no voice was detected there. Agreement between two machine readings is not verification.

Speakers were separated by voice. A plain name rests on evidence tied to that voice; “provisional” is a name from an earlier text-only pass and is not verified; “Speaker N” is an unidentified voice.

there to help anybody, adult or youth with disabilities that are interested in work. So they will refer folks to us and then we have a team that is behind them to help them really learn what they want to do for a career. We help them present themselves and sell themselves to employers.

supervisors and hiring managers just to get an experience of what that industry is like, that environment, and just really builds their hard and soft ‸ skills. And also we hope that, you know, once they're ready for permanent employment, they'll have a better idea of what they want to do. One in three people become, have a disability at some point in their life, but not everybody is ready to retire or not work any longer. So it's quite a big population of people that could use the help. And what an agency like ours is able to do is to help these folks get an idea of what they want to do long term. Because the whole idea is to get into a career, something that's not going to be job hopping anymore. It's going to be something long term that they're going to like to do and that they can make a living at.

The community partnerships that we've gained out here have been tremendous. We've been able to connect with a lot of different businesses that were really open to working with us.

So we've been working with them and trying to help place our clients here. So it's been pretty amazing.
