Circle of Champions
World Skills engages local employers and other stakeholders to be advocates for newcomers and to use coaching as a strategy to advance their integration into the Ottawa labour market.
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
