You're Invited!

Join us for a discussion on Diversity & Inclusion:

  • By 2011 all labour force growth will come from immigration
  • In 2009, CanadianImmigrant.ca stated that immigrant buying power in Canada is worth more than $90 Bn
  • 25% of immigrants hold university degrees compared to 6% of Canadians
  • The annual revenue lost to the non-utilization or under-utilization of immigrants, is in the hundreds of millions of dollars
  • Only 26% of foreign-trained engineers hold jobs in engineering occupations, compared to 41% of Canadian-born engineers

The business case for hiring Internationally Trained Professionals (ITPs) is strong. Studies have shown that a diverse workforce leads to more innovation, employee satisfaction and positive bottom lines. However, ITPs face many barriers in finding work or being utilized to their full potential. Employers state many reasons for not tapping into this talent pool such as:

  • Need for Canadian experience
  • Lack of good communication skills
  • Not a "good fit"
  • Won't be able to "hit the ground running"

Join us for a complimentary breakfast where top experts in the field will lead you in a discussion with your peers and colleagues on how some of these real and perceived barriers can be overcome. You will share ideas and good practices on how your organization can leverage the talent of Internationally Trained Professionals.
