Employment and Social Development Canada is launching a new call for proposals under the Longitudinal Research Stream of the Work Integration Social Enterprise (WISE) Research Program. The call is open from August 30 to October 13, 2022. WISE was initially launched in 2017 and seeks to better understand the impacts of work integration social enterprises in Canada. The second phase of the program will build on work from the last five years by doing a deeper dive into the specific impacts of social enterprises on the social and labour market integration of Black and racialized people in Canada.

An information session will take place on September 14, 2022. If you are interested in attending, please send an email to NC-DGOP-POB-WISE-ESIT-GD@hrsdc-rhdcc.gc.ca and specify your preferred official language.
