Burnaby Board of Trade | WICWP Bus Tour
The Burnaby Board of Trade WICWP Tour (Welcoming and Inclusive Communities and Workplaces Tour) is meant to connect newcomers who are professionals in their field with industry employers. The goal is to create an open dialogue and discussion about the challenges of finding a job in Canada as an immigrant, but most importantly how they can succeed in finding a job.
Some of the most common advice to newcomers was to learn about the hidden job market through networking. It was not only the newcomers who benefited from this project. Employers were also encouraged to think about hiring a diverse workforce and the benefits that come with that.
Our video production team at EXL Films produced 6 WICWP tour videos which were uploaded to the Burnaby Board of Trade’s blog to present their findings of each tour.
In this video, we visited 3 employers: BCIT, Vancity, and Digital Payment Technologies
As we are in a global economy, we need to think globally; and by employing people with different backgrounds who bring diverse skills, perspectives, and solutions, we are empowering and positively shaping the future of our society.
The WICWP Tour is funded by the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia.
