Tonight TRIEC is celebrating their annual Immigrant Success Awards, which includes recognition for companies for integrating newcomers in the workplace, an award sponsored by the Toronto Star.
Earlier this year we were honoured to nominate St. Michael’s Hospital for the Toronto Star Award for Excellence in Workplace Integration, and we were thrilled to learn that 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.

Today the Toronto Star also featured a “special section” showcasing successful Internationally Qualified Workers, including Career Bridge alumna Patricia Simeons from St. Michael’s Hospital who also mentored and nominated recent Career Bridge Intern-of-the-Year-Award winner Richard Ballesteros.
The article headline reads: “Patricia’s adventure needed a dose of excellence.”
