Diverse & Equitable

Nowhere else in the GTA can you find a more diverse and inclusive work environment.

With a population of almost 60,000, York is large enough to be cosmopolitan but small enough for you to call home.

York’s culture is varied, colorful and vibrant; our population represents over 170 countries. Stroll through our campuses - you never know who you're going to meet!

At York we boast a culture of respect, equity, diversity and inclusivity, where we value each others differences and exercise our strengths.

The University welcomes applications from all qualified individuals, including individuals within the University's employment equity categories of women, persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities and aboriginal persons, individuals of diverse gender and sexual orientation and all groups protected by the Human Rights Code. York University is committed to employment equity and diversity, and a positive and supportive environment.

Our outreach team visits local community organizations regularly, in order to demonstrate the boundless opportunities available through a career with York University, and our commitment to being a diverse employer of choice. The team also raises awareness to York University members on equity issues and ongoing education is used to promote sensitivity of all vulnerable groups in our community. This collaborative approach allows our community to build on successes, and to ensure that equal opportunity is provided to all those that desire a career with us.
