| Video Discription | What happens when skilled professionals leave everything behind to chase a dream, only to face unexpected barriers in their new country? For 19 years, Dapo Bankole envisioned a prosperous life in Canada, only to find himself working minimum-wage jobs despite his extensive IT experience. In this poignant narrative, Bankole highlights systemic issues preventing qualified immigrants from thriving. Explore the challenges of earning "Canadian experience" and learn how policy realignment, community support, sponsorship, and mentorship can transform lives, leading to personal and national prosperity. Discover the untapped potential of immigrant professionals and the urgent need for a more inclusive integration approach. Dapo is an IT professional, writer, podcaster, and community builder. Drawing from his own challenging experience of integrating into Canada, he transformed this adversity into a mission for change, becoming a dedicated advocate and support for first-generation Canadian immigrants. With more than 23 years of IT experience, he is an expert problem-solver in business analysis, project leadership, business process automation, and software product development. Dapo drives innovation as the President of Mopheth Systems Corp., a black-owned tech enterprise in Calgary. Dapo’s positive impact extends to the boardroom, where he serves as a Director on the board of Windmill Microlending and Momentum Community Economic Development Society. Dapo’s boundless dedication and impressive track record make him a vital asset to his community. He calls Calgary, the Blue Sky City, home, where he lives with his wife, Buki, and their three incredible boys. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx |
