February 27 @ 10:00 am - 12:30 pm

Equity, Employment and Ethiopian Coffee: A Black History Month Event

What the Event is All About:

This event blends cultural experiences, storytelling, and actionable insights for employers focused on inclusive workplaces. Start the day with an Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony, followed by powerful stories of cultural resilience and workplace diversity. In the Un-Learn Our Barriers session, challenge assumptions that limit diverse hiring and retention, and gain new strategies. The event wraps up with a networking session, featuring African-inspired snacks, to build relationships and keep the conversation going.

Why Attend?

Employers should attend to connect with job-ready talent, streamline hiring, and build partnerships with local service providers specializing in diverse hiring and retention. A diverse workforce drives innovation, strengthens culture, and connects to the community. Through experiences like the Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony and stories from Black professionals in Edmonton, you’ll gain insights into inclusive hiring and deepen your cultural understanding. You don’t know what you don’t know until you show up—this is your opportunity to learn, connect, and take action toward a more inclusive and successful workplace.
