Description

Engineers Canada is seeking proposals to develop an engagement strategy for engineering employers to advance the national 30 by 30 goal to increase female-identifying newly licensed engineers to 30 per cent by 2030, as described below and in section 3 of this RFP ( “Project Scope”). In particular, we are seeking entities (“Bidders”) who are able to:

Produce an analysis of opportunities to incorporate equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) within existing regulator employer certification processes, using existing research by regulators and Engineers Canada. These opportunities should include suggestions on the potential role of Engineers Canada in improving gender equity and EDI in engineering workplaces.
Prepare materials and guide a consultation process with engineering regulators based on the above analysis with the goal of advancing 30 by 30 with engineering employers.
Create a national strategy to engage employers, focused on tactics that link EDI to employer regulation.

The successful Bidder will report to the Manager, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion on the draft and final products. The expected Project completion date is August 31, 2022.
