Who is Workshops Online for?

  officers, immigrant serving agencies, immigration officers, settlement and employment counsellors.

About Workshops Online: Immigration to Integration
ICTC’s Workshops Online is an e-learning tool that provides essential knowledge about;
• working in Canada, including the process of coming to Canada:
• what Canadian ICT employers need: and,
• resources available to develop technical, business, language, and workplace communication
  competencies.

This initiative will further establish Canada as a leader in the attraction, retention and integration of IEPs in the ICT sector.

ICTC decided to focus on this initiative partly because our research shows that the Canadian ICT sector will need to recruit between 15,800 and 22,350 ICT workers each year between 2008 and 2015.  Internationally Educated Professionals will account for 30% or more of the annual supply of ICT professionals.

Without the integration of groups currently under-represented in the ICT sector – including IEPs, women and Aboriginals – Canada will not be able to compete or innovate in today’s global economy. IEPs – whether they are seasoned professionals, recent graduates or those employed outside their field – are viewed as particularly well positioned to fill vital roles in Canada’s ICT sector.
