Work Ready: CLB Resources for Counselling, Hiring, and Working with Internationally Trained Individuals (ISBN 978-1-897100-26-4)

Statistics Canada¹ identifies language as a significant factor in immigrants not finding employment in Canada, behind foreign credential recognition and a lack of Canadian work experience. This resource has been developed for employers, human resource professionals and employment counselors to facilitate the successful employment of newcomers to Canada. It also provides helpful language-based tips and resources for those in the employment sector employing, working with, or training immigrants.

This resource can support your counselling and hiring services with immigrants who have English as a Second Language. It provides samples and best practices to highlight why soft skills are important for work. Use the section buttons on the left side of the page to navigate through the document.
