This workshop will focus on understanding the unique challenges faced by Asian professionals in the workplace and developing a mindset and career plan to overcome them.

After we close out the workshop sessions we will relocate to the Happy Hour Networking venue. We encourage all mentees to use this time to practice their networking skills and build connections with the community.

Overcoming AAPI Inequality

Are you tired of hearing stereotypes about the Asian model minority? Concerns about rising anti-Asian scapegoating and political rhetoric are growing, with Asians often seen as “forever foreigners” in America. Reports show that while Asians are frequently hired as professional workers, they are the least likely to be promoted to leadership roles. We will discuss the root causes of this “Asian Promotion Inequity” and explore how Asian values can become a superpower. Join us to learn how to advance your leadership potential, contribute to your organization’s success, and foster a more inclusive community.
