She believes everyone deserves to be treated like a person, and that everyone deserves access to- and has the capacity to develop- the knowledge and skills needed to encounter difference with compassion, kindness and genuine curiosity.

Alyx Duffy (they/them/theirs) has over a decade’s experience in equity and inclusion work across the country, with a strong focus on 2SLGBTQI safer schools and communities. They are a genderqueer, white-presenting, settler, equity educator based in Tkaronto.

About Challenge Accepted

At Challenge Accepted, we offer equity and inclusion consulting in multiple sectors and communities, including developing and delivering curriculum in all levels of education, the healthcare sector, and within frontline, community-serving organizations. As a collective founded and operated by queer and trans folks, all of us at Challenge Accepted are deeply interested and involved in the work of building organizational capacity for queer and trans inclusion in Toronto and beyond.

In our education work we ask the hard questions and route them through experiential learning, with the aim of connecting the learner’s own assumptions and values to deeply embedded systemic issues. We present real-world examples that encourage the application of knowledge, and generate confidence in the belief that real, meaningful changes are possible. We see this work as connecting to our ongoing engagements supporting organizations across sectors in building their understanding and capacity to integrate intersectional 2SLGBTQI equity and inclusion practices in all aspects of their work.

After graduating, many individuals with disabilities will encounter barriers to labour market participation. “In 2022, the employment rate among those aged 16 to 64 with disabilities (65.1%) was 15 percentage points lower than the rate for those without disabilities (80.1%).” (1) 

On March 12 and 13, the Transition to Work program will be hosting an online symposium on the topic of Career Preparation. The symposium will include a keynote address and panel including Humber alumni. 

Students and alumni from Humber College, the University of Guelph-Humber and Seneca Polytechnic, as well as job seekers in the community, are welcome to attend. 

The Transition to Work Program aims to enhance successful career outcomes and strategies for persons with disabilities through hosting workshops and events, and connecting learners with college support staff, employers, alumni and community agencies.  

Please encourage any students with disabilities you may be working with who are approaching graduation to attend. Registration in advance is required.
