ABOUT THIS EVENT
DC celebrated Fair Employment Week and our recent SSHRC funding by featuring speakers to talk about Gender Diversity as it intersects with precarious employment.
The event included a fun, facilitated networking activity to allow you to connect with more peers from BCIT, Industry, and the wider community on the topic of Diversity, and an update on Diversity Circles next steps — all with a celebratory theme (and food).
