Immigrant Futures presents: 
Thinking Outside the Box: Innovative Pathways to Refugee Employment
This is the second in a 3-part webinar series that bring to life a new report from Hire Immigrants, Investing in Refugee Talent: Lessons Learned in Labour Market Integration.

Employment plays a pivotal role in the integration and inclusion of refugees to a new community. Yet, the newly arrived face myriad challenges when accessing the labour market, from language barriers and cultural differences to training needs and skills recognition. Employment agencies are typically at the forefront of helping refugees navigate these obstacles and access the employment opportunities that will support their integration and inclusion.

Join us on April 4, 2019, to learn about innovative tools developed to ease refugee pathways to employment and support the invaluable work of employment counsellors and settlement workers. From Germany, Dr Martin Noack, Senior Expert, Program Learning for Life” at the Bertelsmann Stiftung will share the “Careers via Competences” project. From Toronto, Ian Hartlen, Project Manager at Magnet, will present the new ALiGN initiative that utilizes a unique data-matching technology to create fit-based matches between job seekers to in-demand occupations.
