December 22, 2017 – Newfoundland & Labrador is to spend nearly $400,000 on two new pilot jobs programs aimed at international students and graduates
The Atlantic province wants to make it easier for graduates to stay on and begin their working lives in N.L.
The initiatives will be funded through the Labour Market Partnerships Program and run by the province’s Association for New Canadians (ANC).
Eileen Kelly-Freake, director of career services for the ANC, said: “Undoubtedly, international graduates and students have much to offer local employers, especially in terms of their education, work and life experiences, multilingualism, and global networks.”
