A Collective Concern

Attracting and retaining the best talent is critical to long-term economic success and prosperity. In-house knowledge of doing business in other countries is invaluable in the current global economy.

 

Developing an effective mechanism to provide internationally trained workers with real-world skills is the key to competitiveness in the global marketplace. AXIS clients are pre-screened to ensure they have met all eligibility requirements and are job-ready in advance of meeting the employer.

 

“Interestingly, 97% of employers in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador who hire immigrants report a positive experience. Nearly three-quarters of employers agreed that a multicultural workforce enhances creativity in the workplace and that hiring international workers serves to improve export opportunities.” (Wade Locke/Scott Lynch Economic Consulting, April 14, 2005.)

Creating Diverse Leaders

Newfoundland and Labrador welcomes over 400 immigrants each year. It is important to our economic health that the skills and knowledge of these individuals be utilized. AXIS Interns are multinational and their education will vary based on their home country and backgrounds. In order to ensure a successful internship, AXIS will match the skills you require with the skills that the intern possesses.

 

AXIS Programs and Services address the unique challenges faced by internationally educated workers, while providing them with a cutting edge approach to today’s labour market. An AXIS Internship provides a newcomer with an opportunity to demonstrate abilities, network in their chosen profession, and utilize occupation-specific language skills.

Concentrating on Cooperation

Labour shortages, the growing need for more skilled workers, and the rapid demographic and technological changes is driving global recruitment. Partnering with AXIS provides employers with access to a wide range of experienced international workers.

 

AXIS Internships serve to further support the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador’s Immigration Strategy and Multiculturalism Policy.

What are Employers Saying?

My experience with the [ANC’s] practice of placing new Canadians in volunteer work situations has been very positive. The Centre has taken several practicum workers over the past 3 years. All have contributed to the library operation. All have been able to complete their assigned short-term projects and all have made effective and friendly relationships with their colleagues. We found them to be highly motivated, bright workers who would make fine permanent employees.

By the year 2020, the labour shortage in Canada is expected to reach 950,000 workers. According to Statistics Canada “If current immigration rates continue, it is possible that immigration could account for virtually all labour force growth by 2011.”

AXIS offers an array of programs and services which bridge the gap between immigrants and employers, providing local employers with highly skilled and motivated international workers.
