Two organizations and one individual are being recognized in the 8th annual Immigrant Success Awards by RBC and the Toronto Region Immigrant Employment Council (TRIEC) Thursday.
The awards are designed to recognize organizations and individuals who are making outstanding contributions to immigrant employment in the Toronto area.
“Historically, immigrants have made significant contributions to Canada’s success. Yet, 10 years ago, a diverse group of the region’s leaders founded TRIEC because the region was not effectively leveraging the immigrant talent it possessed to the detriment of us all,” said Margaret Eaton, Executive Director of TRIEC, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary.
“We are so proud of the role TRIEC and its partners have played in helping skilled immigrants succeed during the past decade. The IS Award winners really demonstrate the magic that can occur when immigrants have the opportunity to contribute to their full potential.”
Each of this year’s award winners, who were selected by a panel of senior HR professionals, business leaders and industry stakeholders, made unique contributions to employment in the region.
“Each of the winners has been a catalyst in their own unique way for integrating skilled immigrants into the GTA’s labour market,” said Zabeen Hirji, Chief Human Resources Officer at RBC.
“RBC is proud to support the IS Awards, which reflect our belief that a diverse and inclusive workplace plays a key role in driving employee engagement, innovation and a stronger, more competitive, business. We are confident that the winners and nominees will inspire others to better integrate skilled immigrants into workplaces throughout our region.”
