Driving innovation in skills development to prepare for the future of work

The Career Advancement for Immigrant Professionals (CAIP) program, initiated in Toronto, aimed to address the significant underemployment of skilled immigrant professionals in the Greater Toronto Area and beyond.

Work-integrated learning can be effective in developing technical and soft skills among learners at different levels, including in high schools, colleges and universities and in professional roles.

This project sought to address the challenges employers in the province were facing in connecting with the right talent and having to navigate multiple recruitment platforms with no guarantee that postings would reach qualified candidates.
