Hinweis der Redaktion
- First off I’d like to thank you all for sharing the membership survey with your members. Just wanted remind you all that the reason we started this survey was to help you and find out more about your members and help them achieve their employment goals. And in order for us to work better together we decided that this survey was a helpful tool to know more about your membership
- We had 245 respondents from 33 PINs associations complete our survey. And what we found was that: 80% were of “working age” between 30-54 years old and majority entered through the skilled worker immigration class Out of the respondents almost 40% were from South Asia or South America
- A surprising result we encountered was the length of time your members have been in Canada. - 22% arrived in the last 3 years - 25% arrived before 2004 as early as 1969 For those who have been here three years or less they are still eligible for a range of programs and services however for those who have been here much longer, they are no longer eligible for many employment or career advancement services to help them However, for those who are more established in their careers, some opportunities to consider recommend to them are as mentors or connectors in employment focused programs
- As you can see there is a wealth of professional experience among your members where - Over 40% noted between 5-10 years of experience in their field before arriving to Canada and - 11% worked more than 20 years before immigrating here. Over 50% reported that their professional occupations prior to working in Canada were in in business, finance and senior management positions
- We were happy to see that just over 50% of your members are employed however only 40% are working in jobs commensurate to their skills and experience they brought with them to Canada. This indicated to us that career advancement and strategies to address unemployment and underemployment are potential areas of need for some of your members and today’s afternoon session could be helpful in tackling these needs
- In terms of challenges, the top challenges identified were: (slide) But in terms of what is helpful at connect your members to employment respondents who are unemployed or underemployed mentioned (slide) in one case a respondent mentioned that these services were helpful to help “get over the hurdle of the Canadian Experience issue” The most helpful tool that those already employed mentioned as effective were Networking events. So the work in which you do really does help your members. But what this survey has showed us is that there is still work the we can do together. So I ask you to think about some of these highlights from the survey and take a look at your association breakdown of the membership survey which you should have received at registration this morning. Consider how this afternoon’s break out sessions can help your members connect to opportunities in other TRIEC programs to help them find meaningful employment. Thank You (Paula intro)
