Join us for an in-depth three-hour workshop in partnership with the Black Women’s Business Network!

Join Eunice Kajoba for this unique offering scheduled for Thursday, April 4th, from 9:30-12:30pm (PT) and hear from Pasima Sule on recruiting Black talent. You, senior leaders, or managers within your organization are welcome to attend this program.

We anticipate this program filling quickly, with the program fully funded by the Workplace Opportunities: Removing Barriers to Equity (WORBE) project, supporting employers subject to the Employment Equity Act in their efforts to improve designated group representation in areas of low representation through partnerships and industry-tailored strategies.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this workshop you will learn how to:

  • Identify and address some of the most common challenges faced by Black professionals at work in terms of microaggressions, stereotypes and tokenism.
  • Develop a greater understanding of the structural and personal impact of power and your role in uplifting and supporting Black talent through mentorship, sponsorship and active allyship.
  • Better advocate for change to processes and systemic barriers faced by Black professionals within the employee life-cycle of your organization including barriers faced in the hiring, retention and promotion of Black talent.

This will be a meaningful 3-hour session with a focus on sharing practical tools and resources, highlighting what leaders can do to utilize EDIB related practices to better support Black professionals.

Eligibility & Audience: HR leaders, C-Suite Executives & Managers in Canada’s Tech sector.
