Newly announced provincial government-supported initiatives will help to increase diversity in BC’s tech sector
Groups that are under-represented in the tech industry will benefit from up to 2.2 million dollars being invested over the next 2 years.
Those groups include women, Indigenous peoples, those with disabilities, and more who are seeking employment in the industry.
Pilot and mentorship projects supported by the funding will examine how best to attract and retain diverse workers, as well as how to support career advancement.
Projects will be managed by Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of BC, and HR Group, with support from the Sector Labour Market Partnership program.
