Posted by Stephen Rhodes
Kevin McLellan is our guest speaker today. He is currently Project Manager at TRIEC (Toronto Region Immigrant Employment Council) and is responsible for the provincially funded project that is reaching out to employers on the issue of integrating skilled immigrants into the work force.
He joined TRIEC in 2005 after successfully launching an award wining initiative in Durham Region in collaboration with educators, employers and NGOs. He spent fifteen years in the advertising industry working with clients such as General Motors, BMO and the Canadian Tourism Commission.
TRIEC is a multi-stakeholder council that is working to improve access to employment for immigrants in the City of Toronto and the Regions of Peel, York and Halton, so they are better able to use the skills, education and experience they bring with them to Canada.
