How Our Content Works

Each iteration of Workforce Forward brings together a curated series of panel discussions designed for all levels of experience, as well as dynamic workshops ranging from beginner to advanced levels. This way, you can decide which sessions are best suited to your level of experience, and customize your Workforce Forward journey to your liking!

Learn more about our workshop learning track levels by clicking on the boxes below!

  • Learning Track - Level 1
  • Learning Track - Level 2
  • Learning Track - Level 3

Level 1 workshops are best suited for those who are just beginning their Indigenous inclusion journey and are unfamiliar with the diverse cultural traditions of Indigenous peoples working in Canada. These workshops are designed to generate a common understanding and an awareness of expectations. You can’t skip this level if you want to create an Indigenous inclusive organizational culture

Level 2 workshops are designed for those who have familiarity working with diverse teams, and are interested in building upon their existing DEI policy to attract more Indigenous talent to their organization. More than awareness, these workshops provide tangible skills and the necessary tools needed to implement changes and create an inclusive organizational culture that attracts, recruits and retains Indigenous talent

Level 3 workshops are best suited for those already actively employing Indigenous talent and collaborating with Indigenous communities, but are interested in moving beyond their existing DEI policy and taking their Indigenous inclusion goals to the next level. They are individually shaped to provide the skills needed to successfully lead an increasingly inclusive workforce. An organization can expect a measurable shift in perspective and behaviour and some forward momentum in changing institutional culture when sending multiple key decision-makers to attend these sessions
