Summary

Hire Immigrants Ottawa hosts complimentary cross-cultural competency training sessions for employers, managers, and human resources staff. Through a menu of six modules, participants gain skills, tools, and strategies to better prepare their workplace for a diverse employee base.

Upon completion of four modules, participants receive a certificate and become eligible for an enhanced program 'Facilitating Cross-Cultural Change'

Since 2009 this interactive training has been offered in over 40 sessions to 400+ Ottawa-based employer participants.

Session topics include:

Introduction to Cultural Competency-Building

Intercultural Problem-Solving Strategies and Understanding Verbal-nonVerbal Messages

Effective Cultural Adaptation Strategeis

Performance Management and Feedback

Creating the Workplace that Accommodates Effectively

Lessons Learned

The series of sessions has been designed and tailored according to employer demand.

Content responds directly to the identified needs and challenges of local employers who are dedicated to increasing their capacity to effectively hire and integrate skilled immigrants into the workplace.

Promotion of these sessions has been most successful when channeled through associations and groups that are relevant to our target audience: Chambers of commerce, sector councils, etc.
