Partnership Initiatives

WORBE Project

Timeline: March 2024 - Present

The WORBE Project aims at improving the representation of persons of African descent or who identify as black in the Banking, Finance and Tech sectors in Alberta and British Columbia. Increasing representation is important for sustainable growth and innovation. However, significant disparities in the representation persist for Black and racialized individuals in Alberta and British Columbia's banking and finance sectors. Underrepresentation in banking and finance can have wide range of impacts as lack of diversity stifles creativity, innovation, access and knowledge to underserved communities ultimately hindering progress and corporate growth.
