Networking in Canada - I/CAN Employment Session

Networking is a must in Canada! Come with your questions, chat, connect, get tips. Session starts at 11:30am PST/ 1:30PM EST on Tuesday*

Networking is one of the most significant things you can do to gain employment in Canada, given 80-85% of positions are filled through the ‘hidden job market’.

Your willingness and your ability to network effectively is often the key to success in getting work and growing your career here. It sets you up for opportunities that would not ordinarily be available to you and can accelerate your success.

Networking can also be one of the most intimidating things to start with as a newcomer! But you are not alone and this supportive, interactive, and practical session is designed to help you.

Get the most out of it by showing up to the session with your questions. This will be an opportunity to chat with I/CAN's Career Resources Advisor, ask questions, exchange ideas, air your concerns, connect with your peers. Takeaway tips and key action steps to put into practice as part of your job search and networking plan.

Designed for members of the Irish community who are already in Canada and those who have a departure date set for arrival.

• newcomer or in the early stages of your career here and the idea of networking sits outside your comfort zone and is presenting a challenge for you
