LinkedIn Learning and Skill Building Workshop for Jobseekers with Disabilities

The Employment Accessibility Resource Network (EARN) is excited to be hosting a LinkedIn Learning and Skill Building workshop on Wednesday, August 10, 2022, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

The purpose of this workshop is to provide job seekers with disabilities information on why and how to use LinkedIn as a platform to make themselves noticeable and attractive to recruiters. Service providers are most welcome to join.

This will be a great opportunity to learn about the different techniques that can be used to leverage LinkedIn in helping find meaningful employment, as well as learning how to create an effective profile, build connections, and network.

What’s in it for you?
Recruiters find LinkedIn to be one of the most effective ways to recruit candidates. To get noticed by recruiters, LinkedIn helps you create your own personal brand and allows for others within your network to endorse your skills, which is a very effective way to highlight your skills, experiences, qualifications, and strengths. By the end of the workshop, you will have gained the skills and knowledge needed to create that noticeable profile.

Event Details:

• Date: Wednesday, August 10, 2022.
• Time: 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. EST
• Venue: Virtual – a Zoom link will be emailed to you after registration.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada Career Fair

The Jobs Canada is a national career fair created to provide employment opportunities to all sorts of professionals across Canada. There are several government departments participating in this event and it is an amazing opportunity for students and new graduates to network with our representatives and learn about our mandate and jobs available! IRCC will be there recruiting for our Foreign Service Development Program.

A bit about our Foreign Service Development Program…

The Foreign Service Development Program is a paid training program designed to transition into the role of Migration Foreign Service Officer. Migration Foreign Service Officers spends approximately two-thirds of their careers overseas, participating in application processing, risk assessment, engagement, and migration diplomacy activities. The majority of assignments are overseas where day-to-day life can be very different – and often more challenging – than in Canada (such as in the Philippines, India, Turkey, Senegal, Mexico and China). A career as a migration Foreign Service Officer is one that is very rewarding and exciting, while having a meaningful impact around the world.
