In today’s tightening labour market, accessing skilled talent is a key factor in helping businesses thrive.

Within the labour pool itself, immigrants experience many barriers to finding meaningful work in their industry. The award-winning Halifax Connector Program helps address challenges for both employers and immigrants.

The Canadian labour market is undergoing a significant shift due to a myriad of reasons, and this is impacting organization’s recruitment, hiring and retention efforts. Your organizations may be finding it difficult to recruit and retain talent because of an increasingly competitive market, shrinking candidate pool, and/or not knowing where to find the right recruitment partner. To help solve recruitment and retention challenges, some organizations have been partnering with employment service provider organizations (SPOs) serving newcomers. SPOs provide newcomers with in-demand job training, including occupations-specific skills & soft skills, so that they are job ready. They can also help employers foster inclusive workplaces and become newcomer ready.
