HWDSB Focus Recruitment of Black and Racialized Educators
HWDSB recently completed an Employment Equity Audit (Employment Systems Review) to examine human resource policies and practices related to hiring, advancement, and inclusion of employees from diverse backgrounds. The Employment Equity Audit and its findings are a key part of the HWDSB Equity Action Plan. To support this work, the board has created this Focus Recruitment Strategy. The Focus Recruitment Strategy will support our Employment Equity Plan which aligns with the Equity Secretariate, Ontario’s Education Equity Action Plan and PPM 165 goals.
We are hosting information sessions for Black and Racialized prospective teachers interested in teaching at HWDSB. These information sessions are for those who have received their OCT
certificate or are in the process of obtaining it. Information Sessions are vital to HWDSB recruitment and provide candidates with the necessary information to apply. Teacher information sessions also serve as an excellent way to highlight HWDSB, staff, and current or upcoming opportunities.
