Here's a brief interview in HRVoice (the BC e-newsletter for HR professionals) co-authored by a new immigrant and her mentor.
Whether or not you specialize in working with immigrants, as a career management professional it's important to understand the immigrant experience. Articles like this can help to surface some of the typical issues that they face. Resources like the SEED toolkit help employers to prepare for welcoming and integrating new immigrants.
The CMP program has a course dedicated to this topic: The Immigrant Experience. This is generally a Directed Studies course, but it's much more interesting to discuss with a group. We currently have the course scheduled for September 1 - 14...will you join us online?
