ICTCs Workshops Online prepare internationally educated professionals from Immigration to Integration into Canadas ICT sector OTTAWA October 7, 2009 A new initiative by the Information and Communications Technology Council (ICTC) is set to improve the integration of internationally educated professionals (IEPs) into the Canadian information and communications technology (ICT) workforce. ICTCs Workshops Online: Immigration to Integration have been developed in English for IEPs in Canada and overseas, along with stakeholders providing services to IEPs internationally and nationally across Canada, including visa officers, immigrant serving agencies, immigration officers, settlement and employment counsellors.Workshops Online will teach essential knowledge about working in Canada, including the process of coming to Canada, what Canadian ICT employers need, and resources available to develop technical, business, language, and workplace communication competencies. This initiative will further establish Canada as a leader in the attraction, retention and integration of IEPs in the ICT sector. Attracting skilled and dedicated newcomers to Canada in the field of information and communications technology will contribute to Canadas future prosperity and success, said Jason Kenney, Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism.As an international educational tool, ICTCs Workshops Online will help to ensure IEPs are better prepared and informed about Canada, including regional differences regarding employment opportunities in the ICT sector. According to ICTCs most recent Outlook findings, the Canadian ICT sector will need to recruit between 15,800 and 22,350 ICT workers each year between 2008 and 2015. IEPs will account for 30% or more of the annual supply of ICT professionals."ICTCs Workshops Online will be an indispensable transition resource for IEPs whether they are planning to come to Canada or are here already," said ICTC President Paul D. Swinwood while announcing the launch of Workshops Online today. It is also a key integration tool designed to help immigration stakeholders orient and assist IEPs throughout the process of adapting to Canada and transitioning into the Canadian ICT workforce.
