Indigenous Equity & Workplace Inclusion - Service Provider Partnerships

Indigenous Equity & Workplace Inclusion: Service Provider Partnerships 📅 October 30, 2025 🕙 10:00 – 11:30 AM MT 📍 Online Workshop About this Event Employment inclusion services hold a powerful role in advancing Truth and Reconciliation while helping organizations build workplaces where Indigenous team members and worldviews are valued. For many Indigenous job seekers, especially those living with disabilities, employment barriers are not always recognized or understood by settler organizations.
