This session will explore Visions of Science's program model for engaging racialized youth aged 13-25 in STEM career-building opportunities and pathways, with a focus on Black youth and other racialized groups underrepresented in STEM. Additionally, we will bridge this with our approach to recruitment, development and succession of leaders from the communities we serve as part of our HR strategy.
Learning Outcomes:
Learn effective and transformative career development strategies for marginalized youth
Understand opportunities to support talent acquisition among marginalized youth
Gain deeper understandings of barriers to employment for marginalized youth
