SHARING SETTLEMENT AND INTEGRATION PRACTICES THAT WORK - WELCOME EXCHANGE

10 Sep 2024

Goal(s): The primary goal of the program is to ensure a respectful and inclusive settlement process for newcomers to Canada, with a focus on the role of Indigenous Peoples. [...] At the same time, the program aims to welcome and support newcomers by establishing connections to local employers and service providers, facilitating their integration into the community. [...] The employment opportunity exchanges put the needs of newcomers at the forefront by conducting comprehensive needs assessments prior to the exchanges. [...] Innovative and Forward Thinking: The Welcome Exchange program places Indigenous people in a leadership role in the development of the cultural sharing events. [...] Similarly, feedback from employment opportunity exchanges revealed a strong interest in learning more about how to be successful in both the community and the workplace in Canada, prompting the program to expand its activities to address these areas.
