The Centre for Newcomers is an excellent way to connect with potential employees: experienced, educated workers who have recently arrived in Canada.

Recruiting newcomers - leveraging the skills and experience of internationally trained workforce - is way to reflect the Calgary's growing diversity within your own organization.

Your company will benefit from their international connections, and their ability to communicate with people from other cultures, economies, marketplaces and countries.

Consider a Practicum Placement

It is often hard to know before you hire someone if they will be a good fit. Practicum placements reduce the risk. They are an excellent way to discover if someone is right for your organization.

They are also a way to make a difference in the life of a newcomer. The biggest challenge newcomers usually face is finding their first Canadian job, one that will give them Canadian work experience, and a Canadian job reference.

Professionals with background in Accounting who have completed a full-time, 22 week program on the culture and language of the Canadian workplace, are available for voluntary 6 week placements.

For more information, or to request a placement, call (403) 569-3346.
