Thank you for that question.
We're finding that many of our industry partners are wanting to make the change. They want their places of work to be more inclusive, to be more diverse and to welcome and embrace diversity in a much different way. They want that to happen for two reasons. There is the “just the right thing to do” reason. There is that social kind of component to it. There's also an economic component to it because, quite frankly, we do need every hand on deck.
Through our ongoing relationship, our work with the local chamber of commerce and our work on various committees, we try to continue to maintain our relationship with those hiring organizations to try to fundamentally change the workplace. One of our favourite quotes is that “culture eats strategy for breakfast”. I think there is no other place that's truer than in the workforce. It's great to have a great strategy, but if a culture is not consistent with that, then all else breaks down.
The other thing we do very closely, I think, is that the faculty we hire are required to have a certain number of years of industry experience. Because of that commitment and that requirement to have experience in the industry, they bring with them a tremendous level of community and industry contact. Often the employers will work with them to try to make the transition as smooth as possible, so that those workplaces are welcoming and inclusive, and quite frankly, so that their commitment to removing all barriers to accessibility is maximized.
