Become an Employer Champion for Newcomers

Lack of a network and lack of sector-specific knowledge are two of the biggest barriers for newcomers to secure employment. Professionals in Ottawa can provide support to our newcomers through various forms of coaching and employers can gain access to the largest pool of newcomers in Ottawa.

Advantages of becoming an Employer Champion

  •  Meet and access the largest pool of talented newcomers in Ottawa
  •  Enhance individual or organizational cross-cultural awareness, knowledge, and competencies
  •  Develop your mentoring/coaching/leadership/presentation skills
  •  Gain international perspectives and insights into international markets

Eligibility Criteria for the Circle of Champion Program

 

  • Must be an employer, recruiter, manager or company representative
  •  Professionals who wish to share sector specific or industry knowledge; or human resources expertise
