In 2023, over 471,000 people made Canada their home as permanent immigrants, according to Statistics Canada, but are Canadian employers being inspired and empowered to hire this dynamic and motivated workforce? The Quinte Local Immigration Partnership (Quinte LIP) wants to make sure that local employers are; so they launched the Employer Toolkit to provide employers with hiring help.
Ready to connect with newcomers right now?
What’s In the Employer Toolkit?
The downloadable Quinte LIP Employer Toolkit for hiring newcomers was launched in February 2024. Not only will the toolkit show employers how to attract talent and retain newcomers or how to hire international students in their workforce, the Quinte LIP team has committed to a DEI approach (diversity-equity-inclusion) with the toolkit to help employers respond to the changes in the local labour market.
Want to know what DEI can do for your workplace?
Highlights of the toolkit include:
- newcomer hiring best practices
- current state of the local labour market
- newcomer hiring recruitment
- employer guide to provincial and federal immigration programs
- newcomer hiring process
- recognizing international credentials
- newcomer hiring retention
- concrete steps to applying DEI in your workplace
Throughout the eastern Ontario region, employers can find hiring help from workforce experts.
