Fulfilling the Promise: Integrating Immigrant Skills into the Urban Economy
From Toronto and Auckland, please join us for the next webinar event in our online Learning Exchange series:
Today's global economy is characterized by unprecedented levels of labourforce mobility and growing levels of international trade. Research and common sense tells us that urban prosperity and well-being depends on the quality of welcome the newcomer receives and the relative success of the settlement and integration experience. Cities that are able to harness the competitive advantage of diversity are able to reach into new markets, internationalize their customer base and benefit from skills and talent that fuel innovation and drive high performance. So how do successful cities do it?
Join Elizabeth MacIsaac, Executive Director, of the internationally recognized Toronto Region Immigrant Employment Council, to learn about TRIEC's top-down approach to labour market integration and how corporate leadership can help you and your city benefit from the so-called "immigrant advantage"; with Justin Treagus, Program Director, OMEGA at the Committee of Auckland, New Zealand, and corporate partners.
