Member Exchange #6
2024-12-03 12:30 - 13:30
At Workplace Pride we hold regular member exchanges. These member exchanges are interactions, collaborations, and support networks established among members of Workplace Pride who share a commitment to promoting LGBTIQ+ inclusion in the workplace. These exchanges involve the sharing of knowledge, experiences, best practices, and resources related to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in work environments.

These sessions are designed to be informal and to bring members together to share experience, to learn from one another, and to build connections for future collaboration. Feel free to invite other employees from your organisation to listen in.

Queericulum Vitae – Empower Your Career on Purple Friday!

We would like to invite you to Queericulum Vitae—an empowering session dedicated to owning your story and confidently entering the workforce. Whether you are a student exploring career paths or just starting out in your profession, Academia@WorkplacePride, Young@WorkplacePride, and Student Pride are here to help prepare for and navigate the job market.

This event will dive into important questions like: Should you highlight your role in a queer student association on your CV or “straighten up” your resume? How much weight should a company’s LGBTIQ+ policies carry when choosing where to apply?

Join us for an afternoon of practical training to prepare you for the job market, an inspiring panel discussion, and a chance to capture a fresh LinkedIn profile photo. Let us make your Queericulum Vitae stand out and get you career-ready with pride!

12:30-13:30 – Arrival, lunch & LinkedIn photoshoot

13:30-14:15 – Job Market Preparation Workshop: This workshop is tailored for LGBTIQ+ students and young professionals to gain essential skills for navigating the job market.

14:15-15:00 – Panel Discussion on navigating the beginning of your career as part of the LGBTIQ+ community. (this will be streamed)
