Collisions YYC

In this episode, I am joined by Wunmi Adekanmbi to discuss the unique challenges that newcomers have in developing their skills and network. Wunmi is changing the narrative by bringing awareness to tech and empowering newcomers to Canada to find their way to fully integrate all tech professionals into Alberta’s innovation ecosystem.

Show Notes

With Calgary being so oil and gas-focused, how do we change the city’s economic narrative while supporting new Canadians’ careers in our city? Wunmi was driven by her own curiosity to answer that question. We discuss her meet-up group, Immigrant Techies Alberta, and how that identified other gaps she could address with her new company, Reskill Calgary. This conversation is certain to inspire you to ask “Why not?” and find ways you can demonstrate how much Calgary has to offer.
