Vancouver BC, Canada Immigrant Employment Council of BC Full time

About Us The Immigrant Employment Council of BC (IEC-BC) is a dynamic not-for-profit that helps BC employers recognize the collective value immigrants bring to the workforce, positively impacting our society and economy. As a growing organization, our programs break down barriers that keep BC businesses from making full use of the diverse skills and experience immigrants bring to the workplace and communities.
 
The Immigrant Employment Council of BC (IEC-BC), in collaboration with local immigrant employment councils across Canada, has launched an innovative project aimed at enhancing employer engagement and promoting the integration of skilled immigrant talent into the Canadian labor market. We are seeking a creative and energetic Communications coordinator who will spearhead a robust communication strategy aimed at not only enhancing partnerships and collaborations but also deepening employer commitment and championing effective practices for the integration of skilled immigrant labor. This role is instrumental in shaping and driving a national communications campaign that amplifies employer and key system actor voices, informs immigration and settlement policies and programs, through effective dissemination of feedback and knowledge exchange emerging from the Feedback Forum activities.

Internal and External Communication:
Serve as a key liaison between the project team, immigrant employment councils, employers, and other stakeholders.
Ensure that communication flows effectively within the project team and across the broader network of partners and supporters.
Oversee the design and production of digital materials, including infographics, videos, and presentations, that effectively convey complex concepts in a visually appealing and accessible manner.
 
Knowledge Dissemination and Social Media Promotion:
Play a pivotal role in gathering, synthesizing, and broadcasting the valuable feedback and knowledge exchange from the Feedback Forum activities to inform and enhance immigration and settlement policies and programs.
Manage the project's social media presence, creating and curating content that engages employers, skilled immigrants, and other stakeholders. Utilize social media platforms to promote events, share success stories, and foster a community of practice around immigrant labor market integration.
This includes translating the intricacies of labor market integration and immigration policy into actionable insights for employers and other stakeholders.
 
Report Writing, Editing and Media Outreach:
Lead the production of high-quality reports that summarize forum discussions, findings, and recommendations.
Ensure that all communications are clear, engaging, and accessible to a broad audience, including employers, government officials, and the general public.
Develop and maintain relationships with media outlets to increase the project's visibility and impact. Coordinate press events, media briefings, and interviews with key project stakeholders
 
Creative and Strategic Thinker: You are someone who can conceive and execute a visionary communication strategy that engages and mobilizes stakeholders across the spectrum.
