September Event Snapshot


September was a busy month for Career Edge. We had the privilege of attending many events hosted by our partners in the business community, and explored new ways to achieve our shared mandate of putting diverse, qualified talent to work.


We showed our support at ACCES Employment's Annual General Meeting, as they celebrated 30 years of helping newcomers successfully integrate into the Canadian job market.
The Career Edge team out and about in September.
 
At Treble Victor Group's Veterans On Bay Street event, we made new connections with employers looking to build or strengthen their military recruitment initiatives through our Canadian Armed Forces Reservists' Paid Internship Program.
 
We joined RBC as they hosted a recruiting/ networking event where over 80 candidates with disabilities met with RBC recruiters and hiring managers, learned about RBC's commitment to diversity and inclusion, accommodations and the Pursue your Potential (PyP) program, as well as explored the opportunities available through Career Edge.
 
At Planning for Canada's Consultative Conference, we discussed ways to advance the effectiveness of pre-arrival services for prospective immigrants, with Career Edge internships playing an important role in enabling internationally qualified professionals to secure jobs before, or shortly after arriving in Canada.
 
Our partnership with Planning for Canada (formerly the Canadian Immigrant Integration Program and Canadian Orientation Abroad) has enabled us to build a solid pipeline to amazing global talent, and support their settlement in various locations across Canada.
 
If you are looking for newcomers - or candidates from our other talent groups - to join your organization, or if you are interested in discussing a strategic partnership, contact us today.

Launching your Civvie Career as a Primary Reservist
Join us on Thursday, October 20, 2016 from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. EDT to learn more about the the Canadian Armed Forces Reservists' Paid Internship Program, its community partners, and how we are working together to enable Primary Reservists to continue serving their local Reserve unit, while launching their civilian career in targeted corporate industries.


Hosted by Career Edge and featuring Audrey Prenzel, founder of Career Transition Services and author of "Military to Civvie Street: The Complete Job Transition Guide for those Leaving the RCAF, Army & Navy," this webinar will also provide Reservists with practical information and tips related to finding and securing civilian employment, while maintaining their commitments to Canada's Primary Reserve Force.
