Sector Council Collaboration

Pan-Canadian Sector Council & Immigrant Dialogue: Barriers Affecting the Integration of Non-Regulated Occupation Immigrants into the Canadian Labour Market
Sector councils participated in the steering committee for this project led by the The Canadian Coalition of Community-Based Employability Training (CCCBET), and also participated in research and conference activities.  The project identified specific issues and barriers preventing the integration of non-regulated occupation immigrants and refugees into the Canadian workforce and held a national event, “The Dialogue” between Sector Councils and immigrant serving agencies, to promote networking, sharing of information, and partnerships.
