Participants
We all know that networking is important to career development. This
program allows newcomers and young and emerging talent to have a starting point and begin to get to
know contacts in their field.
They benefit from enhanced networking skills, a larger
local and professional network, and an improved job search.
Connectors
For employers, or connectors, this is a way to explore the hidden talent in Halifax.
Our labour force is depleting as professionals retire and recent
graduates are choosing to move away from Halifax. Making a connection to
skilled professionals who have worldwide ties and are ready to work
will give your business a competitive advantage in today’s economy.
Skilled immigrants can be valuable resources for understanding product and service needs in ethno-specific markets. They can also provide a competitive advantage by improving networks and relationships, by speaking a variety of languages and adding diverse perspectives, experiences and skills sets to the workforce.
