Employers are encouraged to hire newcomers, yet newcomers face challenges with lack of recognition of their foreign education & work credentials. Highlights of this session are: strategies for employers to play a greater role in socioeconomic integration of newcomers; employer perspectives in bridging gaps between demand and supply of skills to accelerate labour market absorption; and promising practices to meet future skills needs.

Learning Outcomes:
  • Breaking through the glass ceiling for newcomers' economic integration
  • Building capacity in employment services for newcomers
  • Targeted innovative employment and retention strategies for employers
