Advisor Training 2021 is fast approaching, taking place from May 25 to June 4. We have an entire two weeks of sessions lined up for us to learn, connect and refuel our work. This year, we have two amazing keynote sessions you don't want to miss!

Tuesday, May 25 at 9 a.m.
Naming it. Reckoning with Our Truths.

The experiences of Black, Indigenous, and people of colour (BIPOC) professionals in the workforce are often challenging and nuanced, particularly for those with intersecting identities. Many companies and organizations express the importance of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI); however, the experiences of BIPOC communities tell a different story. In this interactive talk, we will name the realities faced by BIPOC communities and discuss ways that we can navigate the post-secondary environment, in a sustainable and healthy way.

Hosted by:

Natalie Elisha - Equity Projects Specialist, University of Toronto

Martina Douglas - Specialist, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, World Vision Canada
