Diversité & Inclusion
Chacun de nos contextes sociaux influence la façon dont nous évaluons nos propres capacités. La recherche révèle que les BIPOC, les LGBTQ+, les femmes, les personnes issues de la classe ouvrière, les personnes handicapées et d'autres groupes marginalisés ont tendance à hésiter à postuler à des postes s'ils ne répondent pas à toutes les exigences. De nombreuses compétences peuvent être acquises sur le tas. Si vous pensez pouvoir contribuer à notre communauté et répondre à la plupart des critères, nous vous encourageons à postuler.
Le concept de BIPOC fait référence aux personnes noires, autochtones et aux personnes de couleur. L’acronyme vient de l’anglais et signifie «Black, indigenous and people of color».
