Vue d’ensemble de la série de webinaires
As Canada’s labour market evolves, advancing economic reconciliation requires a structural shift from transactional job matching to relational, strengths-based employment pathways that carry Indigenous talent from first application through to senior leadership. Grounded in the 2026 Weaving the Future joint forum between Indigenous Skills and Employment Training (ISET) programs and National Sector Councils, this free two-part series confronts the systemic barriers that surface at both ends of the employment lifecycle: rigid, standardized recruitment that screens out non-linear career paths, and thin onboarding, cultural isolation and self-advocacy-dependent promotion that drive attrition after the hire.
Across both sessions, participants will have the opportunity to hear from a diverse group of experts and panellists exploring the role that different actors across the career-development ecosystem can play in advancing culturally safe and responsive workforce practices – from frontline career development practitioners and employers, to post-secondary institutions through their Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) programs, ISET offices and community-based organizations.
The series will also bring attention to and honour the diverse communities and places where Indigenous learners live, learn and work, including remote, hybrid and community-based pathways.
Participants will move from cultural awareness toward measurable, trauma-informed institutional accountability, leaving with a practical, human-first blueprint for culturally safe workforce practices.
Pourquoi les praticiens de carrière devraient participer
This series equips career development professionals (CDPs) to advance the discussion on why concrete frameworks are needed to redesign hiring, retention and advancement so Indigenous candidates are fairly assessed, successfully placed and supported to lead. CDPs will learn to coach employers to pinpoint where recruitment breaks down and to broker the partnerships that make placements and promotions stick.
Attendees will also gain strategies for the geographic realities their clients face: supporting remote and hybrid roles so people can stay connected to vital community supports, championing community-delivered « earn while you learn » models designed in First Nations by First Nations, and easing transitions for rural and small-community learners entering complex urban institutions. Finally, practitioners will be able to identify low-cost, systemic policy changes that build culturally safe workplaces without constant new funding — strengthening the full employment lifecycle where culturally responsive practice matters most.
