Racialized peoples

Founders of interactive digital media or game studio businesses who are racialized, BIPOC or LGBTQIA+ benefit from a toolkit and program that makes entrepreneurship in this sector accessible to more Canadians.

"Foreign-sounding names” are 20 to 40 per cent less likely to get a call-back for a job interview, depending on company size.

We already know that racialized Canadians face greater challenges in the labour market. But we need to zero in on the data to better understand why.

The Public Policy Forum, the Diversity Institute, and the Future Skills Centre have joined together to publish Skills Next, a series that explores what is working in workplaces, universities, and the labour market – and where workers are falling through the gaps in our skills training system. Each report focuses on one issue — such as the impact of technology in the workplace, gig work, digital skills, and barriers to employment that some marginalized groups experience -- and reviews the existing state of knowledge on this topic and identifies areas in need of additional research.
