The objective of this research project was to contribute to a greater understanding of the challenges faced by Black people in Canada related to participating in employment and skills programs, as well as how policies, programs, and services can best support Black people in Canada in their pursuit of a meaningful career. Due to the limited literature on the participation of Black people in active employment and skills programs, the review has at times broadened the discussion to include racialized people or drawn upon relevant contexts within the labour market.
