In 2022, the Inclusive Careers Lab (ICL) returns through a partnership between Pink Fest and the Inclusive Business Pledge 2022.
The Inclusive Careers Lab will run online from 13 June to 24 June.
All Inclusive Careers Lab sessions will be held online to be accessible for folks in Singapore and across the APAC region to participate.
Sign up now via: https://forms.gle/yAjqjbZaEnKkfVzB8 to express your interest in running an Inclusive Careers Lab session. There is a S$500 fee to participate, that includes Premium Inclusive Business Pledge 2022 Badge.
If your organisation comes on board as a sponsor of The Inclusive Careers Lab 2022, your participation fee, and Inclusive Business Pledge 2022 Badge, will be included in your sponsorship package.
In the spirit of inclusion, workshops will be open to everyone. LGBTQ, women, persons with disabilities, racial minorities and other groups of underrepresented talent in Singapore are highly encouraged to attend.
