Navigating Employment Challenges: A Workshop and AMA Session with Camara Chambers

As part of Jumpstart Refugee Talent’s ongoing commitment to empowering clients with lived experiences of forced displacement, we are thrilled to announce our next virtual workshop and ‘Ask Me Anything‘ (AMA) session.

This engaging session provides a platform for participants to gain valuable insights, seek guidance, and connect with a supportive community. Designed to address the unique challenges faced by newcomers in the job market, these events aim to equip attendees with tools for success and foster leadership skills for building inclusive workplaces.

For our February session, we are honored to welcome Camara Chambers, Director of Leadership Development at The Dais (affiliated with Toronto Metropolitan University) and a renowned leader in community engagement and leadership development. Recognized as one of the 100 Top Black Women to Watch in Canada (2019/2020), Camara brings over a decade of experience in community initiatives, having worked with over 400,000 Torontonians in volunteer and leadership roles.

Camara will share her own immigration journey, moving from England to Canada, and provide practical advice on navigating employment challenges. She will discuss key strategies for:

  • Setting and achieving career goals.
  • Building resilience in the face of challenges.
  • Networking effectively and leveraging volunteerism.
  • Developing leadership skills to promote diversity in the workplace.

This session promises to be insightful and inspiring, offering participants the opportunity to learn from Camara’s expertise and ask questions tailored to their own career journeys.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Strategies to overcome employment challenges as a newcomer.
  • Practical tips for networking and building leadership skills.
  • How to leverage volunteer opportunities for professional growth.
  • Insights into fostering diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
