Capability Career Group

September is Black Employment Awareness Month (BEAM).

BEAM is an initiative that shines light on underrepresented talent in Black, African and Caribbean communities in Canada.

Did you know that 42.8% of Black Canadians aged 25-54 have a university degree, compared to 33.6% of non-visible minorities​, yet work in jobs that were way below their educational qualifications or are unemployed all together?

Did you know that on average, Black Canadians earned $26.70 per hour in January 2021, which is $3.92 less than the $30.62 per hour earned by non-visible minorities​ in Canada?

Did you know that Black entrepreneurs could add an estimated $80 billion to the Canadian economy over the next decade, yet capital acquisition for this group is still below average compared to non-Black entrepreneurs?

September 5th, 2025 - BEAM Professionals Networking - Virtual
September 10th, 2025 - LevelUP Career Fair - Virtual
September 17th, 2025 - Workplace Conference - Virtual
