Memorial University Publication 2023-06-05 Best practices for employers to hire immigrants This session includes various perspectives on how to support employers, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to hire more immigrant talents. Since SMEs are the backbone of the Canadian economy, providing about 90% of employment in the private sector, it is critical to empower SMEs to hire and retain immigrants. Our presentations explore the effectiveness of innovative approaches, such as a social resilience lens, the adoption of employer-driven skills training and employment services, needs assessment of local SMEs, and wraparound supports, in the ecosystem.
