 Workshop Purpose & Overview
TIME: 15 min.
LEARNING OUTCOME : Participants will understand the
rationale for the workshop and its objectives.
DESCRIPTION:
Explain the rationale behind the creation of the Workshop.
Points you may wish to cover include:
- Each year Ontario receives more
than 100,000 immigrants, half of whom are highly educated
and trained. Many need to become licensed or certified in order to
practice their profession in Ontario.
- Government has an interest in ensuring that newcomers
are able to work in their profession; this prevents unemployment
and fulfills Canada 's human resource needs.
- Many newcomers feel they have been unable to find
work in their profession because they lack Canadian experience,
lack the required language skills (both sector-specific terminology
and general workplace communication skills) and/or lack information
on professional licensing and Canada 's job market.
This workshop was created to address these needs.
Instruct participants to open their Workbooks to page
1  .
Review the Workshop Goals with them (using the overhead provided)
and outline the structure of the workshop. You may wish to emphasize that this workshop is not a job search workshop
(although job search resources are provided)
