Work For All: Stop Racism in the Workplace Subscribe

Meet the people involved in the fight to eliminate racism in the workplace.

What was once out in the open is now subtly hidden in the policies and practices of the workplace. CITIZENShift has teamed up with Human Resources Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) to explore the issue of racism at work. This dossier devoted entirely to issues surrounding racism in the workplace. Examine how direct and systemic racism adversely effect industry and economy. Meet players involved in the fight to combat, subvert, and eliminate workplace racism. Witness the journey from the making-of to the final cut of six provocative short films produced on the subject.

Update: After the huge success of this dossier (launched in 2006) and the series of videos created on the subject, we are happy to announce that a new series of films and a space for dialogue on the topic is currently in action!

Take a peak at the new Work For All website today!

Lack of "Canadian Experience" is one of the many barriers to entry faced by new immigrants. Often to gain this experience, immigrants are forced to take jobs far below their educational or professional skill levels. The programs and services offered to assist immigrants in finding employment as well as the importance of networking are discussed.

I think Canada is pretty accepting and a great place to live. There are more people from other countries living in some cities than there are people born in Canada. back taxes
