    According to research, Black, Indigenous and racialized women (BIWOC) who are students in post-secondary can feel less supported when it comes to their career development and access to networks. What’s more, one of their top sources of stress includes the job search process. On this panel, students and recent graduates who self-identify as BIWOC will explore their experiences with navigating their career development and job search as well as ways post-secondary institutions and employers can be more inclusive in their approaches.
