Newcomers
Contemporary Realities of Newcomers
Economic integration is a foundational dimension of the immigrant settlement process. As employment is a core issue, newcomers need to match their own skills with Canada’s labour market. The employability of newcomers depends on several factors such as educational credentials, the ability to converse in English or French, and working experience including technical skills and soft skills.
To explore newcomers’ abilities in achieving economic integration, OneHub Growth addresses systemic issues and adopts strengths-based perspectives to:
Identify Personal Goals
Assess Personal Strengths to Help Clients Reach their Goal
Understand the Obstacles & Barriers that Impede Goal Achievement
Use One's Strengths & Capacities to Overcome Barriers
Emphasize Personal Growth & Development
Career Networking for Diverse Sectors
OneHub Growth’s Career Networking for newcomers is designed to build a positive place where newcomer jobseekers feel welcome. Through sharing, guest speakers from diverse sectors and newcomers work together to foster social capital, employment and educational opportunities, and positive relationships within a community.
