Tri-City business owners are invited to an event for employers to learn more about hiring recent immigrants to boost customer service and profits.
The Tri-Cities Employer Forum will be held Tuesday, Nov. 24 from 11:30 to 2 p.m. at Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam. The event is free, but registration is required through the host agency, the Tri-Cities Local Immigration Partnership.
Among the take-aways from the forum will be information about recruitment and retention from the Tri-Cities's immigrant talent pool; demographic information and why new immigrants matter to an employer; new findings from a labour market scan; some of the skills newcomers are bringing into the region and where there are gaps; as well as employers' experiences in hiring and retaining newcomers.
