Our Plan to Drive a Culture of Inclusion: 2023-2026 Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Accessibility Blueprint
The Blueprint focus areas include Capacity building, robust conversations, workforce recruitment
Inclusion and diversity are core values of Algonquin College. We value both the dignity and uniqueness of the individual and equity & diversity in our community. We are Living the IDEA of Algonquin.
Algonquin College is pleased to share our latest 3-year strategy to drive momentum on creating a culture of inclusion in the work environment with the efforts detailed in the 2023-26 Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility (IDEA) Blueprint. Achieving successful and sustainable inclusion, diversity, equity & accessibility is a continuing challenge. It must be seen as a journey, not a destination.
The refreshed Blueprint is a critical support to the Algonquin College 2022-2025 Strategic Plan and our Accessibility Plan. It reflects best practices that have been tailored to our College’s current strengths and the next steps in our journey. This Blueprint lays out three areas of strategic focus: Capacity Building, Robust Conversations, and Workforce Recruitment. Each focus area has clear tactics and success indicators. Achieving these will help us to realize the benefits of having an Inclusive, Diverse, Equitable and Accessible College work environment. Read the Blueprint in full.
