Session Description
Breaking Down Workforce Issues – This roundtable will see discussions surrounding the biggest issues HR departments are facing in hiring Indigenous peoples. We also ask the question, what are the biggest barriers for Indigenous peoples to overcome when entering or advancing in the workforce and how can companies retain Indigenous talent?
“It’s essential that we create space for Indigenous youth to participate in national conversations about economic reconciliation if we hope to establish the sustained momentum needed to address and correct the growing economic gap existing between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians... I am certain the lived experiences, insights and unique outlooks of our 2023 Forward Summit Youth Delegation will provide inspiration and hope to all industry partners and conference participants in attendance.”
