Workforce Warriors Inc.

Published purpose

Through this 25-month project Workforce Warrior will create a four-pronged solutions-based system to address systemic barriers for women in the blue economy. The goal of the project is to create space and place within the ocean economy for Indigenous peoples, and more specifically women and gender-diverse individuals, to grow and thrive in meaningful careers in the blue economy. This will be achieved through the creation of an information portal and guidance mentors to support employers and employees on the employment journey. There will be synchronous monthly meetings with Elders/Knowledge Keepers on items of interest within the sector, and research compiled and shared on challenges for women within the blue economy, identification of systemic barriers, best practices for addressing systemic barriers, practical applications for sustainable change.
