TRIEC (the Toronto Region Immigrant Employment Council) is calling upon employers, internationally qualified professionals, and partner organizations (like us) to help shine the spotlight on deserving organizations and individuals who have shown leadership and innovation in recruiting and retaining skilled immigrants.
The IS (immigrant success) Awards present an annual opportunity to give GTA champions the recognition they deserve.
In 2009, we nominated St. Michael’s Hospital for the Toronto Star Award for Excellence in Workplace Integration, and they won! St. Michael’s Hospital was honoured by TRIEC, in partnership with the Toronto Star, for going beyond visionary but actually implementing and embedding practices – in this case, the Career Bridge paid internship program for Internationally Qualified Professionals.
To date 25 trailblazers, employers and individuals, have been recognized. If you or your organization deserve to be recognized, don’t miss your chance this year. Tell your story by filling out a short nomination form online by Thursday, December 1, 2011.
