Host: Talent Match
Is your organization striving for a broader understanding of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI)? Wondering how hiring students and hiring in general can support your goals? Have you considered the barriers students and staff from equity seeking groups encounter during the job hunting, interviewing, and onboarding process—and how your organization can make adjustments?
Akanksha Thakur, (she/her), the Project Lead for ACE-WIL’s EDI Resource Hub and the EDI Program Manager at TransLink will present an overview of the EDI Hub, highlighting the barriers that employers and student-employees face, and the resources that were built in response—including tips on inclusive job postings and interviewing, information on accessibility, power dynamics, and much more.
