Our Mission
Our mission is to maximise the potential and contribution of its members by providing them with the platform to build meaningful connections, develop new skills and create a powerful network of allies.
While many organizations have implemented diversity techniques in their hiring processes, the true value of cultural diversity within teams often remains untapped.
Many mid-career professionals of colour, who are also first- and second-generation migrants, often feel undervalued and disconnected from their teams. They encounter barriers such as bias, discrimination, and non-inclusion in their day-to-day lives, impacting both their careers and personal lives.
Educational Events
Professional Events featuring insightful panel discussions and a keynote address by an industry leader. Enroll your organization to Gain valuable knowledge, network with other industry professionals, and engage in thought-provoking conversations. Learn and implement best practises that are impactful.

Professionals
At APOC, we understand that climbing the corporate ladder or transitioning from a job to starting a business is no easy feat. We’ve been there ourselves, and we know what it takes!
We create a safe space for our members to learn from one another, share stories, and gather insights from established leaders across industries who have experienced and managed similar situations.
