The Power of Intentional Networking to Access Talent: Utilizing Connector Programs to Fill Labour Gaps
July 20, 2022 @ 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm ADT
The Power of Intentional Networking to Access Talent: Utilizing Connector Programs to Fill Labour Gaps
The award-winning Halifax Connector Program helps address challenges for both employers and immigrants. It is an intentional networking program that puts immigrants directly in touch with local businesspeople, civil servants, and community leaders – people who are in the habit of making introductions and connecting others to opportunities. Immigrants quickly build their professional network while employers meet new skilled talent. It’s a win-win.
The Connector Program model has been replicated in over 30 communities in Canada and internationally. This webinar will showcase three business stories of connecting and hiring immigrant talent, and the importance of building a welcoming, diverse, and inclusive workforce.
