  3. E-MAP (Engineering Matching & Placement program) • Employer-driven program to job match Internationally Trained Engineers (ITEs) with manufacturing jobs • Funded by HRSDC – Foreign Credential Recognition Office • Phase I was funded for 3 years until 2009 • Phase II funded until 2013

  4. E-MAP Phase I Results • Goal was to create a job matching program that was valued by employers & ITEs • Achieved a validated model and exceeded our placement goal (58 placements) • Re-funded for phase II April 2010 • Created assessment criteria for ITEs

  5. Barriers to Employment (Assessment Criteria) • English communication speaking and writing • Customs and cultural norms of workplace o presenting yourself in an interview o understanding what the employer is looking for o Canadian workplace basics / roles • Relevant industry experience • References that can be checked • Trusted education • Computer / software skills

  6. E-MAP Success Factors • Partnered with a trusted industry association (manufacturing) • Hired skilled HR & career counseling staff who coached both employers & ITEs • On-going communication with employers & ITEs • Just-In-Time resume writing, interview coaching & job matching negotiations

  7. E-MAP Phase II • Continue and expand E-MAP services • Success to date: • > 500 ITEs registered and >250 employers registered • 146 jobs posted, 28 interviews, 3 matches • Make program fully sustainable before 2013 when funding ends so valued services can continue to be offered

  8. E-MAP Collaborative Website • Build an on-line tool that automates and scales E-MAP job matching services + offers other services • Currently in needs assessment phase and need your input to ensure most useful: • Survey Monkey • Focus groups in evenings/weekends • Future: trial users • Will send email soon to registered EMAP members
