Foreign Workers contribute to the economy, not only by filling gaps in our labour force and paying taxes, but also by spending money on goods, housing and transportation. This workshop will give employers a one-hour look at the economic outlook in the North Okanagan, programs and resources available to employers and community supports that assist the foreign worker in adjusting to their new life in BC. If you still have questions, following this one-hour workshop we offer a Q&A to help in answering any questions and to help you bridge the gap to hiring a foreign worker.

One hour of your time could lead you to your next great hire!
