What Is the Employer Community of Practice?
The Employer Community of Practice (CoP) is a national, collaborative learning space where employers come together to:
Share experiences, challenges, and best practices
Learn from one another across regions
Co-create a curriculum for Cultural Broker employers
Strengthen leadership capacity across the settlement sector
This work is rooted in dignity, equity, and cultural understanding—and guided by those doing the work every day.
Why This Community Exists?
Cultural Brokers play a vital role in supporting newcomers and communities—yet many employers lack shared tools, language, and frameworks to support this work effectively.
This Community of Practice exists to:
Strengthen inclusive and culturally responsive leadership
Support employers working alongside Cultural Brokers
Transform lived experience into practical, sector-wide tools
Build safer, more respectful workplace environments
Together, we are building something that lasts beyond individual organizations.
