Black Employment Awareness Month (BEAM)

Join us in person and virtually for Black Employment Awareness Month (BEAM) events! It's a great chance to connect, learn, and celebrate the importance of employment opportunities within the Black community.

Black Employment Awareness Month (BEAM) is an essential, annual September initiative, designed to connect employers, small businesses, entrepreneurs, service providers, and stakeholders with African, Black and Caribbean talent. BEAM aims to address critical issues such as pay disparities, unemployment, underemployment, and the underrepresentation of African, Black and Caribbean professionals in organizational leadership roles. Additionally, BEAM champions fair resource allocation for African, Black and Caribbean entrepreneurs and highlight their invaluable contributions to the Canadian economy.
