Join us for ActionDignity’s 2026 event marking the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (IDERD).
This year’s theme, “Qualified but Excluded: Dismantling Systemic Barriers in Foreign Credential Recognition and Employment,” will explore how barriers such as non-recognition of foreign credentials and “Canadian experience” requirements continue to impact internationally trained professionals in Alberta.
Despite having the qualifications and expertise to contribute meaningfully to the workforce, many racialized and internationally trained professionals face underemployment, deskilling, and systemic barriers that prevent equitable access to professional opportunities.
The program will feature a moderated fireside chat bringing together lived experience, regulatory perspectives, and policy dialogue to examine the structural challenges within credential recognition and employment systems.
Participants will engage in a thoughtful conversation about solutions, advocacy, and collaborative approaches to dismantling barriers and creating more equitable employment pathways.
