How do employers connect with newcomers?
There are a number of places in the London region you can go to find global talent.
- A good first stop is WIL Employment Connections, an organization that provides employment services for newcomers to the region. WIL can help arrange shortterm trial placements for pre-screened professionals and other global talent and will introduce you to tools that can connect you with many highly trained international workers.
- Check out Skills International – www.skillsinternational.ca – a website designed to match employers with pre-screened, internationally educated professionals who are ready to go to work.
- Job Connect agencies can also assist with finding workers. Job Connect Agencies include: the London Unemployment Help Center (LUHC), Youth Opportunities Unlimited (YOU), Association canadiennefrançaise de l’Ontario (ACFO), Employment Services Elgin, Community Employment Services in Woodstock, and the GAIN Centre in Strathroy.
- Pathways Skills Development and Placement Centre in London offers consulting and training services to assist employers.
