Become an Employer Champion
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. Lack of a network and lack of sector specific knowledge are two of the biggest barriers for newcomers to secure employment. As an employer, you can provide support to our newcomers through various forms of coaching as well as gain access to the largest pool of newcomers in Ottawa. Become an “Employer Champion”. Contact us today at: ws@ottawa-worldskills.org.
