Talent attraction is hard enough, but connecting with new Canadians so you can hire immigrants who are highly skilled and highly motivated? Sometimes it feels impossible, but there is help out there. Before you throw up your hands in defeat, have you been making the most of your regional resources?
We don’t know what we don’t know. So, if we don’t know which regional resources exist, or that they even exist at all, that makes it hard to make the most of anything! That’s one of the reasons Ontario East exists, to make sure you know what resources exist and how to make the most of them.
For example, if you want to hire immigrants in eastern Ontario, are you making the most of your Local Immigration Partnership (LIP)?
Meet, Support, Hire Immigrants Through Local Immigration Partnerships
In case you didn’t know LIPs exist or how they can help you, other employers, and workforce development, here’s some important information.
Local Immigration Partnerships work to help immigrants integrate in their communities and build strategies to help businesses and municipalities attract newcomers to the area. Funded through Immigration, Refugees, Citizenship Canada, there are 87 LIPs throughout the country, 7 of which you can find right here in eastern Ontario.
Find them here:
Not only do LIPs help you connect with new Canadians and target your talent attraction to these communities to help you to hire immigrants, your connection with LIPs shows new Canadians your commitment to their inclusion and success.
