Wednesday, November 16, 2022, from 12 PM to 1 PM EST – this event is exclusive for employees of our Proud Partners and Community Partners.

2SLGBTQIA+ newcomers face many barriers in employment in Canadian workplaces. Many workplace programs that focus on 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusion may miss the newcomer experience, and many newcomer focused programs miss 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusion.

This webinar presented by Hazim Ismail will discuss the experiences that gender and sexual minority newcomers may face when coming to Canada and looking for employment. We will tackle best practices of making an inclusive space for all newcomer staff and job seekers.

Learning objectives:

• Experiences of 2SLGBTQIA+ newcomers in employment
• Building a workplace that is inclusive of 2SLGBTQIA+ newcomers
• Inclusive practices to hire 2SLGBTQIA+ newcomer job seekers

Audience:

• Employee resource group members
• Human Resources and talent acquisition professionals
• Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion professionals

Live Captioning will be provided by National Captioning Canada.
