Race Forward

Race Forward is a career preparation program for TMU's Black undergraduate students that launched in Summer 2021. The program provides professional development training, networking opportunities, and mentors to help Black students make informed career choices and launch their careers. The initiative is organized by TMU Career and Co-op Centre and Tri-Mentoring Program. 

The program often takes place from May to August and is open to about 50 students who are interested in discussing their identity, understanding their strengths, and meeting Black professionals from a variety of industries. Students must be willing to commit to five workshops and maintain a relationship with a career mentor over the summer.
