- Why do we care and why does it matter to employers? Employers increasingly report deepening challenges: Their workforce and talent pool is diminishing Their operations are increasingly global in nature (especially as the currency of our traditionally largest trading partner declines) Their local customer and supplier base is becoming increasingly culturally diverse As a spin-off of that, employers say they don’t have the skills or knowledge to engage new Canadians effectively Plus, more and more employers are instituting internal company mandates for social justice, community involvement, diversity, inclusivity. At the same, newcomers Are arriving in increasing numbers. As a result an increasing proportion of the GTA population is comprised of immigrants. Are arriving with more education and more work experience. 50% of all immigrants that arrived between 2001 and 2006 came with a post-secondary degree. That’s more than double the proportion of the Canadian-born population (20%) that earned a post-secondary degree, and more than the proportion of immigrants who arrived between 1996 and 2001 (28%). Not only are immigrants arriving in greater numbers and with more education, they are arriving in accelerating numbers. So much so that immigrants will account for 100% of new population growth in Canada by 2031, and 100% of new labour force growth in Canada by 2011. AND, you have to believe that this is happening far faster in the GTA than the Canadian average since 1 of every 2 newcomers settles in the GTA. Obviously, it’s a business imperative to integrate skilled immigrants into the Canadian workforce as early as possible, in their respective chosen profession, and at a level commiserate to their education and work experience. TRIEC helps make those connections.
- What is TRIEC? TRIEC is an employers’ council of all labour-market participants – essentially, any organization that has an interest in an employer’s ability to hire and retain talent in this changing labour market. This includes employers of all types, community organizations, business / industry and professional associations, all levels of government, labour, educational institutions and individual leaders. We believe that with an increasingly culturally diverse population in the GTA, the key to being labour-market ready in the 21 st century is based on being immigrant-ready. So, our mandate is to help GTA employers become labour-market ready by helping them become immigrant ready.
