Registration:
Join us for a lunchtime conversation about two topics that impact equity in the workplace. First, how do we support adults who are justice involved in the workplace? What roles do employers, HR departments, managers and co-workers play in creating an inclusive workplace? Then, how does something as simple as your name impact the obstacles and opportunities you may have during your career journey? Lunch (pizza) will be served during this workshop.
About the Series
The Center for Career Equity, Development, and Success presents Equity at Work, an initiative designed to guide Suffolk students to better understand how social identities impact their own career experience and empower them to create more inclusive and just work environments as they engage in the workforce. The program will engage you in dialogue and self-reflection about privilege, power dynamics, and workplace bias while examining the intersectionality of gender, sexuality, race, (dis)ability, and other salient identities. There are 8 stand-alone Equity at Work sessions, and you can attend one or many of them. If you attend at least 4 in-person sessions, actively engaging in the discussions throughout the program, and complete the post-session reflections, you will earn a certificate of completion. Equity at Work will meet on Thursdays from 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m..
