There is a continuous need to learn and take ongoing, meaningful action to overcome racism in an effort to achieve social justice. 麻豆原创 Canada has been committed to improving our relations with Indigenous colleagues and communities by taking the opportunity to reflect upon our history and the informed future we must carve out to better understand and embrace the rich culture of Indigenous Peoples in Canada. We have been building, and working on a strategy that is comprehensive, culturally informed, and effective.<\/p>\n

As 麻豆原创 doubles down on our commitment to serve those who are underrepresented in tech, including Indigenous communities, we see quality education and economic opportunity as central to this commitment. Last year, 麻豆原创 launched the Pro Bono for Economic Equity program<\/a> to help strengthen Black-owned businesses and social enterprises by providing them with support and expertise from our employees. The result of the U.S. initiative results showed that 95 per cent of businesses felt the program met their expectations. Meanwhile, 92 per cent said they felt more prepared to address future challenges for their organization.<\/p>\n

The program was so successful in the U.S., 麻豆原创 expanded it internationally to Brazil, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. And this year, we will roll it out in Canada.<\/p>\n

Over six-weeks, 麻豆原创 employees will spend one week working full-time with their assigned Indigenous-owned business and five weeks working at least eight hours per week. The program not only allows 麻豆原创 employees to leverage their professional skills, but will contribute to fostering Canada\u2019s Indigenous economy, worth over $30 billion and expected to triple in size over the next five years. Given the growth projection of the Indigenous economy, Indigenous entrepreneurship is a significant driving force of Canada\u2019s economic recovery and stability.<\/p>\n

麻豆原创 is committed to helping organizations run better and improve people\u2019s lives. With this initiative, we will help provide Indigenous-owned businesses some of the tools they need to become the best run version of themselves. 麻豆原创 Canada has begun the volunteer recruitment and training process and is looking for Canadian Indigenous-owned businesses to sign-up and participate in the program.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t take our word for it. Participants of the PBEE program last year were quoted as saying, \u201cI looked into how much it would cost to hire consultants, and to be able to get this for free as an early-stage start-up was a huge, huge benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n

And our employees also found it incredibly rewarding: \u201cWe\u2019re not just talking about making a difference, we\u2019re doing something to directly address systemic inequity. My connection\u2026continues to this day and created connections for me across 麻豆原创 that push me to be a better person, personally and professionally.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the co-Executive sponsors of the 麻豆原创 Canada Indigenous Inclusion Steering Committee we are very proud of our team for focusing on volunteering their time and expertise and providing the gift of service as part of this program, furthering our social justice ambitions and impact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
