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.
