Through this 21-month systemic change project, Achēv will scale the Advancing Equality for Immigrant and Racialized Women and Girls project to advance women’s economic security and prosperity. It will scale the project to the province of Ontario. It will address barriers to the entry, retention, and success in the workplace for immigrant and racialized women. To do so, the project will 1) engage and work with organizations in Ontario to address inequities through the application of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) practices and principles; 2) undertake ongoing consultation with immigrant and racialized women for their input while providing tailored information sessions and briefings to employers in Ontario; 3) organize and conduct targeted employers’ interventions, leveraging the existing DEIA Toolkit and assessment framework; and 4) conduct ongoing program review and evaluation in preparation for a final best practices manual and advanced toolkit.
