A few weeks ago, I told you about an upcoming virtual workshop series built on research conducted by ASPECT members Free Rein Associates Ltd. and Life Strategies Ltd. called Diversity Disconnect: Job Acquisition and Maintenance Factors for Indigenous Peoples & Individuals with Diverse Abilities. Part lessons learned and part practical strategies for employers, CDPs, and community leaders, I now have information and registration links for this pan-Canadian workshop series that's free for all to attend.

The best news yet is that all workshops are mapped to the National Competency Profile for CDPs and are eligible for education credits toward the new CCDP®  certification.  

Anyone can attend any session, but some sessions are focuses for certain audiences. 

1. Workforce Realities in Rural Communities: Understanding the Gaps - April 1  - for frontline staff and case managers.
2. The Curious Case of Inclusivity: Building Strong Training for Everyone - April 8 - for career development managers and facilitators.
3. The Future of DEI: What it Means for Your Workforce - April 15 - for employers and everyone.
4. Strengthening Indigenous Employment Outcomes in Rural Communities - April 29 - for everyone, especially CDPs and employers working with Indigenous job-seekers.
5. Inclusion en millieu de travail dans les communautés francophones - May 13 - for frontline staff, case managers, managers, and facilitators in Francophone communities
