Work Placements

Assess a Potential Employee for up to Six Weeks at No Cost

The Work Placement Program connects employers across Nova Scotia with skilled immigrant professionals. As a Host Employer, you would offer a Work Placement participant the chance to work in your organization for up to six weeks at no cost to you.  There is no obligation to hire,  but you will have the opportunity to assess the skills of a potential  employee in a worksite setting.  Skilled immigrants are keen to participate in the Work Placement Program because they gain Canadian work experience, local references, and the opportunity to network and showcase their skills.  All participants are job ready and legally eligible to work in Canada.

• Flexible: Up to six weeks part or full time depending on need
• Low Risk: All participants insured against injury at workplace
• Targeted: Individual skills matched with employer needs
• Career Focused: Participants are professionals with related education and skills
• No Strings Attached: No obligation to hire or pay – can be terminated by either party at any time

ISIS has offered the Work Placement Program for over ten years and it works!  Within three months of completing the program, 80% of participants are working in their field and every Host Employer has been eager to take part again
