About the event
Indigenous/Intersectional Equity and Workforce Development:

Indigenous workers are a vital, yet underrepresented group in the labour market. However, most organizations lack the confidence and strategic insight to attract, include, and retain Indigenous talent effectively. This training helps bridge the gap.
This session equips HR professionals, managers and supervisors with an actionable understanding of Indigenous equity, as well as practical strategies to support engagement.
