The first event of this year’s Smart Connections and Branding Yourself series was hosted by ERIEC last June 23rd at the Matrix Hotel in Edmonton. ERIEC has designed this workshop series to help educate internationally trained professionals to align themselves with meaningful employment opportunities in Canada.
Radio Interview with Doug Piquette, Executive Director of ERIEC (Edmonton Region Immigrant Employment Council).
Approximately 250,000 people immigrate to Canada each year. Whether one decides to emigrate for love, or for education, immigrants need support. ERIEC is here to help.
At ERIEC, I was paired with an amazing mentor, who was generous with her time and advice. She coached me on job search strategies, interviewing skills and because she had also immigrated to Canada, she empathized with my challenges.
This year’s Edmonton Global Talent Conference drew over two hundred participants to Fantasyland Hotel & Conference Centre last Tuesday March 1, 2016.
