A newly launched two-year pilot project aims to address the underrepresentation of African Nova Scotians in the province s workplaces.
The Diversity Employment Network was created by Black Business Consulting, the social enterprise arm of the Black Business Initiative group. Its goal is to reduce discriminatory practices and promote diversity in the workplace.
The initiative was approved to start last March but was delayed by the pandemic.
It s work that is sorely needed, according to Idy Fashoranti, the network s director of operations.
