Are you looking for a job in Canada’s information and communications  technology (ICT) sector and residing in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) of Ontario? If so, check out the Integrated Work Experience Strategy (IWES) pilot program! IWES is part of ICTC’s Immigration Initiatives and aims to strengthen Canada’s competitive advantage in the global ICT market by providing training in workplace cultural intelligence, workplace communication, business networking and community connections

The IWES program is available to unemployed or underemployed ICT internationally educated professionals (IEPs) who are legally entitled to work in Canada and are recent Canadian immigrants. Eligible IEPs must have a background in ICT/IT, be committed to completing an intensive program, and keen to work in Canada’s ICT sector.

The IWES program consists of a six-week training session, including full-time classroom training and interactive workshops, followed by guided work experience. It allows IEPs to identify and improve skills which are necessary for successfully integrating into the Canadian ICT workplace.

Notably, the program prepares candidates for specific occupations and arranges work placements with ICT employers. So far, 29 IEPs have participated in the program in Vancouver. Applications are now being accepted for this program in Ontario.
