Equity, diversity & inclusion (EDI)
At UVic, we recognize that you may face barriers and that you do your best work when you have the right tools and support and that everyone deserves to be:
- safe
- comfortable
- supported at work
Everyone can access this support
Whether you self-identify as being part of one or more historically underrepresented groups (LGBTQIA2+, BIPOC, persons with disabilities, people with international pathways etc.,) or you’re discovering challenges in navigating the world of work, we’re here for you.
We can help you learn if and how to request workplace accommodations & discuss strategies to cope with barriers by focusing on your strengths.
You don’t need any medical documentation or an official diagnosis to access this support.
