Throughout Canada, employers promote immigration as the key to filling vacant positions. But getting the workers is only a small part of the challenge. Immigration is only successful when workers integrate into their workplaces. This session presents the insights from a recent study of the onboarding of immigrant workers into small and medium enterprises in non-gateway communities.

Learning Outcomes:
  • Working with newcomer and refugee communities
  • Distinguish the onboarding needs of different categories of immigrant workers
  • Distinguish onboarding needs of all workers from those of immigrants
