Despite progress, challenges persist in achieving equity for underrepresented groups like women, racialized persons, and individuals with disabilities in engineering.
In this special episode of Engineering the Future, host Jerome James is joined by Sandro Perruzza, CEO of the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers, to explore the link between procurement policies and equity, diversity and inclusion in engineering services in Ontario.
Sandro shares some valuable insights from a recent OSPE research study, funded by Women and Gender Equality Canada, on the current state of EDI in engineering, including examples of effective EDI policies, such as Quality Based Selection (QBS), pay equity programs, mentorship, and sponsorship initiatives.
