New Barriers In Engineering and Technology Jobs: The Uneven Impact of Working-at-Home on Recent Graduates, Women and Newcomers 

This project investigated the impact of working-from-home on new graduates, women, and newcomers to Canada in engineering jobs. A significant increase in working remotely is one of the long-term effects of COVID-19. Without strategies to counter the negative effects of markedly reduced interaction with team leaders and other team members, firms will limit their hiring. These reports document the nature and extent of the new challenges and are based on a literature review, a survey of 1,243 engineering professionals, focus groups with engineers, and interviews with engineering employers.
