ISSofBC staff celebrated the organization’s dedicated employer partnerships Monday morning by recognizing their business partners’ contributions towards helping new immigrants in British Columbia.
The breakfast event, hosted by ISSofBC’s Employer Solutions at the Delta Burnaby Hotel, acknowledged the contributions through the “Outstanding Partner Awards” in small, medium and large company categories.
A total of 39 companies attended the early morning event which also included presentations on the newly announced Canadian-B.C. Job Grant, updates for employers on Citizenship and Immigration Canada and myths and facts about hiring newcomers.
