Hear about student experiences and WxL research that can help you create an inclusive workplace.
Join us on a journey to explore how employers can foster inclusion for Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (2SLGBTQIA+) co-op students in the workplace. We will uncover the key factors influencing students’ experiences and share strategies for creating supportive environments, drawing from our research at the Work-Learn Institute.
Additionally, gain insights from our employer partner, Ciena, on practical strategies for building inclusive workplaces for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
By attending this session, participants will:
-
Understand the challenges faced by 2SLGBTQIA+ co-op students at work.
-
Get tips to make workplaces more inclusive for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
-
Help create a work environment where everyone feels accepted and valued.
Together, let's uncover these insights and empower ourselves to create environments where everyone feels included and valued.
