Wellesley Institute works in research and policy to improve health and health equity in the GTA through action on the social determinants of health.
The 13th Annual IEP Conference for internationally educated professionals in engineering, healthcare, finance, IT or sales and marketing met on February 26th to learn about career advancement and leveraging skills for success. Good jobs that pay a living wage, have benefits, predictability and regular hours are important to good health.
Dr. Kwame McKenzie opened off the day with a presentation on the role of resilience in the career path. See his slides below.
We wish to acknowledge this land on which the Wellesley Institute operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
