Connector Program

We connect Canadian businesses & organizations with immigrants looking to build their career networks #GetConnected ht.ly/ERQI300mJIZ

The #ConnectorProgram is making a difference in our growing #Winnipeg community by helping people to improve their #networking skills. Building a network can seem like a huge challenge. connectorprogram.ca/conversation-w…

Halifax Partnership and Stewart McKelvey invite you to join us for a two-part webinar series on June 20 and 27, from 3:00-4:30 pm focused on immigration topics for employers.

Refugees have #skills, #experience and #competencies that contribute greatly to Canada’s workforce. #WelcomingEconomy for Refugees connects Canadian employers that are seeking to hire refugee talent. #BreakTheBias #WeAreAllConnectors #HireRefugees

#DYK Among working-age refugees in Canada, the #employment rate was 59.7% in 2020. This is lower than the employment rate for Canadian-born individuals (71.2%), but higher than the employment rate for recent immigrants (53.9%).

The most recent cohort of Afghan arrivals is comprised of individuals who supported the Canada's military mission in Afghanistan, privately sponsored refugees, and their families. #RefugeeInclusion #WelcomingEconomy #BreakTheBias

As part of the #WelcomingEconomy campaign for #RefugeeAwarenessMonth we're sharing facts about #refugees. As of 04/23, more than 30,000 Afghan refugees have arrived in Canada since August 2021. This is a significant milestone to resettling 40,000 Afghans by the end of '23.

After fleeing Afghanistan, Mirhussain Walizada arrived in Canada in April 2022. He was referred to East West College by a service provider in Calgary. He now works as the College's Senior Educational Administrator. Learn more about Mir Hussain's journey: youtu.be/ai1GNQdAQME

In the coming weeks we'll be sharing refugee hiring success story videos. #WelcomingEconomy

"The Program helps change people’s perceptions of newcomers, to understand they are qualified, skilled individuals, able to do any job as well as any Canadian can." @OttawaOCISO #ReadyToStart #CommunityImpact #WelcomingCommunity connectorprogram.ca/conversation-w…
