Immigrants bring skills, experiences and perspectives that can make your workplace more competitive and responsive to your market. We’ll offer you the tools, examples, and personal support your organization needs so immigrant colleagues can shine! Our workshops are highly interactive with breakout rooms, Google Jamboards, and other activities to engage participants. In this 90-minute workshop for staff, managers, and directors, we help you get beyond “cultural fit,” engage with skill sets specific to intercultural situations, and enhance your capacity to guide your workplace culture.

It’s 2022 – social media skills are an absolute must for getting the word out about your business. Unfortunately, many businesses are posting on social media without a plan of action to turn all that time and effort into an increase in their bottom line. When you decide to post on social media without a plan, it’s like throwing spaghetti on a wall and hoping it sticks. It’s messy, inconsistent and unappealing. In most cases, the individual is unaware of how their social media presence is affecting their business on a daily basis. They aren’t aware of how creating an organized plan for their social media presence can help them increase their sales and reach a larger audience. In this workshop we will teach you: How to create a daily/weekly/monthly social media strategy, including what platforms perform best How to create a social media campaign How to create authentic content (and the types of content available)
