Navigating Caregiving & Work

Oct 29, 2024 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM
Hybrid (800 Bay, 5th Floor & on Zoom)

Registration Deadline: Oct 29, 2024 10:00 AM


Our multiple, intersectional identities are intrinsically tied to how we find and show up at work - so let's talk about it!
This event is co-hosted by Career Exploration & Education and the Family Care Office. 

Please note this event is HYBRID. You are welcome to join either online (via Zoom) or in-person (800 Bay Street, 5th Floor).

Join us over coffee, tea, and snacks to... 
  • Develop strategies to identify employers that support the priorities and needs of caregivers
  • Acknowledge and identify systemic barriers caregivers face when seeking and maintaining employment
  • Learn how to honour caregiving skills on your resume, and how, when and if to address resume gaps
  • Develop structures of support and identify resources that can support you in finding balance between job-seeking, working and caregiving
What should I expect in this session? 
  • This session will involve an interactive presentation, and opportunities for dialogue and connection across our experiences and identities. 
    • While our conversation is made stronger with the inclusion of more voices, we understand some folks may prefer to observe. We trust you to participate in the session in the way that best meets your needs. 
  • For in-person attendees, we will have tea, coffee, juice, baked goods, and other snacks available.
Is this session online or in-person? 
  • Both! You can join us over Zoom or in-person. 
    • If joining in-person, the workshop will occur at 800 Bay Street on the 5th Floor, in Workshop Room A.
    • If joining over Zoom, a link will be provided to you shortly before the event by email. 
What else do I need to know?
