Feb. 16, 2010
Niagara College, along with other community colleges across the province, is pleased to offer you free "Are You Ready?" workshops exclusively to small and medium sized businesses.

. Understanding business drivers for hiring skilled immigrants
. Understanding challenges with recruiting and selecting skilled immigrants
. Understanding limitations of traditional practices to source job candidates, to screen individuals and resumes and to interview candidates
. Developing strategies to work with hiring managers to increase the likelihood of identifying qualified skilled immigrants in interview settings
. Identifying strategies to increase the likelihood of identifying qualified skilled immigrants through resume screening
