ERIEC has adapted the “speed dating” concept that focuses on quick-hit information and time-efficient networking to help foreign-trained, job-ready professionals expand their professional network.
ERIEC and the Career Mentorship Program were born during the boom in Alberta when employers were searching for skilled workers and Edmonton’s global talent were searching for employment in their fields.
We are launching a new pilot event we’ve called “SmartConnections”, a concept that was birthed in Calgary by CRIEC that we have adapted for Edmonton.
Our Career Mentorship Program matches skilled immigrants with local professionals in occupation-specific mentoring relationships.
When you have diversity in your organization, it makes good sense (or cents!) to know how to manage a multicultural team; leadership is the factor that makes or breaks a diverse team.
