This session will explore the paradoxical challenge of "jobs without people and people without jobs."
The Diversity Institute will share its research exploring barriers and enablers to work-integrated learning faced by post-secondary students from marginalized groups across Ontario. Two innovative programs driving equitable access to skills training and employment, Advanced Digital Professional Training Program (ADaPT) and Magnet, will be discussed.
Learning Outcomes:
- Identification of barriers and enablers to work-integrated learning
- Understanding partnership models for addressing barriers
- Access to tools to augment career development of underrepresented groups
