Developing a better understanding of the integration needs of newcomers in the workplaces in Newfoundland and Labrador

The goals of this partnership are for this study to provide an informative framework that employers can work from to develop strong policies which can demonstrate their sensitivity to the lived experience of their immigrant employee. From that goal, several other beneficial actions can occur which may strengthen Newfoundland and Labrador into becoming a powerful migration destination which may alleviate many troubling trends that the province is currently experiencing. The results of this study will help understand the integration needs of immigrants in the Newfoundland and Labrador labour market, which will provide a reference for the partner organization’s employment support programs for immigrants. This, in turn, will assist the employers in the province to achieve the goal of a more welcoming and diverse workplace.
