SUMMARY:The Power of Intentional Networking to Access Talent: Utilizing Connector Programs to Fill Labour Gaps
DESCRIPTION:Topic: The Power of Intentional Networking to Access Talent: Utilizing Connector Programs to Fill Labour Gaps \nDescription \n\nIn today’s tightening labour market\, accessing skilled talent is a key factor in helping businesses thrive. The Conference Board of Canada predicts that the immigrant talent pool will be the main source of net labour force growth in Canada\, yet it can be difficult to tap into. Within the labour pool itself\, immigrants experience many barriers to finding meaningful work in their industry. \nThe 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. \nThe 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. \nPanellists\n\n\nMike Johnston – Founder and CEO\, REDspace\nMaayan Harel – Program Manager\, Aerospace and Defence\, Enginuity Inc.\nVinita Savani – Regional President\, Atlantic Canada\, RBC\n\nModerator \n\nAlida Campbell – National Connector Program Manager\, Halifax Partnership\n\nThis discussion is organized in collaboration with the National Connector Program at the Halifax Partnership\, and is part of the Employer Perspectives webinar series brought to you by the Immigrant Employment Councils of Canada (IECC) and New Canadians TV Network. \nNote: You can ask questions to our guest speaker(s) live during the session. You can also send your queries to us beforehand at contact@newcanadians.tv or through the registration form below. \nTime: Jul 20\, 2022 01:30 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)
