You might have heard of the words “bridging”, “enabling” or, most commonly, “career pathways”. These are terms used to describe structured programs in which Indigenous candidates can build their skills, helping them launch a long-term career. But what works? How should you implement these pathways? Join our group of panelists as they discuss alternative pathway programs, which pathways work better than others, and thoughts on how we can harness the strengths of our Indigenous employees.
