The Skilled Newcomer Training Incentive Bond Project connects employers across Nova Scotia with experienced and qualified internationally trained professionals.

As a host employer, you will offer employment opportunities for job-ready, skilled, newcomer professionals for a minimum of 6 months. During these 6 months, you will assess their professional skills and competencies on the job, and you’ll receive onboarding and retention support throughout the duration of employment.

What are the benefits for you?

The Skilled Newcomer Training Incentive Bond Project will offer you qualified, extremely driven, highly competitive, devoted, employable personnel who are eager to help you meet and grow your business-related needs.

• You’ll have a more efficient company. Professionals with international training can offer sparking innovations and introduce new efficient ways of conducting business.
• You’ll receive help with labour needs. Due to the growing labour shortage, immigrants can become a prominent part of Canada’s labour force.

• You can create new markets. Multilingual foreign professionals can help you to create or connect with new, regional and international markets and organizations.
