Internationally Educated Health Care Professionals integration to a Canadian work environment: perspectives from organizations and newcomers - This event has already occurred
"Economic immigrants moving to Canada to obtain employment face various obstacles in becoming a professional in the career they seek. Internationally Educated Healthcare Professionals (IEHPs) seek the career they are trained in but find some challenges when working to become a physician, nurse, or other type of healthcare professional. Organizations hiring newcomers also have their own barriers when attempting to assist in integration to a Canadian work environment. Through stories and experiences shared by Career Transitions for International Health Professionals, World Skills Employment Centre, and Hire Immigrants Ottawa, this webinar will present the accounts and lessons learned from both perspectives in the hiring of newcomers in Canada.
This webinar’s learning objectives include:
Understanding the barriers that organizations face in the integration of newcomers to a Canadian work environment and how employers can overcome these challenges and foster a sense of belonging in the workplace.
Greater knowledge on the perspective of IEHP clients seeking employment in the Ontario healthcare sector. This includes the assistance provided to IEHPs when improving their skills and preparing for the physician/nurse licensure process in their future.
The experiences of IEHP clients that work to become a fully licensed Physician or Nurse in Canada and the hurdles faced and lessons learned to achieve this outcome. This will include a brief introduction to the World Skills Employment Centre’s Credential Recognition Program."
