SUMMARY:Employer Learning Forum - Dispelling Myths and Misconceptions about hiring Immigrants
DESCRIPTION:The Ottawa Board of Trade and Hire Immigrants Ottawa invite you to hear from Employer Excellence Award winners and an immigration expert as they dispel common myths and misconceptions about hiring immigrants and share their practices and strategies for attracting\, engaging and retaining immigrants   now and into the future.\n\nEmployers often express concern and confusion about the real and perceived challenges related to hiring and retaining immigrants. "Do immigrants need a special work permit or visa?" "Is it possible to hire a refugee claimant or international student?" "Immigrants won't fit in with colleagues."\n\nThese myths contribute to a persistent challenge in Ottawa's labour market: businesses continue to face talent shortages and skilled immigrants continue to be overlooked and underutilized. Addressing this challenge and fully utilizing and integrating the skills and talents of immigrants is more important than ever and will be key to recovery and growth.\n\n \n\nParticipants can expect to:\n\n\n	Understand and dispel common misconceptions and myths about immigrant talent\;\n	Learn strategies business leaders are implementing and adapting to attract and include immigrant talent\;\n	Gain recruitment insights from Award winning employers\; and\n	Have your nagging questions about hiring immigrants answered.\n\nTo register\, visit: http://www.hireimmigrantsottawa.ca/events-training/employer-learning-forum/
