bamboo ceiling (credited to Jane Hyun, 2006), anti-Asian discrimination and the model minority myth persist in different social and occupational fields, which affect racialized and gendered professionals. In this presentation, we review the literature on migration,
gender, and race and occupational mobility in STEM fields and situate our current study of working Korean Canadians in this scholarship. I spotlight a professional organization that builds social structural capital among Korean Canadian STEM professionals
and explore how some members view the impact of cognitive and relational capital for occupational mobility. Drawing from preliminary qualitative data from focus group discussions, I discuss the implications of these experiences and understandings for career
satisfaction and mobility.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
