TRIEC recently welcomed Assi Puistolahti from Local Government and County Employers KT in Finland for a conversation on immigrant talent integration and what it takes to build a strong, coordinated employment ecosystem 🤝

With responsibility for employment services shifting from the state to municipalities in Finland in 2025, our discussion explored how employers can be engaged as active partners, how collaboration across government and community organizations can be strengthened, and the role TRIEC plays as a convener connecting partners across the employment ecosystem.

We also discussed how TRIEC’s model and best practices could help inform Finland’s evolving approach to connecting internationally trained professionals with employers.

🌍 We’re proud that TRIEC’s model has informed and inspired initiatives beyond Canada, including the Helsinki Region Immigrant Employment Council (HERIEC) in Finland, adaptations of our mentoring model in Bavaria, Germany, and the City of Stirling, Australia.

It is a powerful example of how approaches developed locally can inform solutions and create impact across borders.

Thanks, Assi, for helping advance this global conversation on talent integration.

You came to Canada to build a future. But are you financially prepared for the one you’re building?

The financial decisions you make in your first few years in Canada can shape your future for decades.

TFSA or RRSP? Saving for a home? Planning for your child’s education or thinking about retirement?

Understanding how Canada’s financial system works can make a real difference to the financial security you build over time.

Join TRIEC and Manulife for a practical conversation with Stephen Lee, CFPÂŽ, Wealth Advisor at Manulife Wealth, designed for immigrant professionals in their first five years in Canada.

We’ll break down key financial planning concepts, help you better understand your options and share practical guidance to support more informed financial decisions.

No jargon. No complicated formulas. Just useful information to help you plan with greater confidence.

Truth is an essential part of reconciliation, and learning is an important part of moving forward together.

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour the children who never returned home from residential schools, residential school Survivors, and the families and communities whose lives continue to be affected.

This day is an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the history and lasting impacts of the residential school system, listen to the voices and experiences of First Nations, Inuit and MĂŠtis peoples, and reflect on the role each of us can play in advancing reconciliation.

At TRIEC, we recognize that reconciliation requires ongoing learning, respectful relationships and meaningful action. It is a commitment that extends beyond September 30 and continues through the choices we make, the voices we listen to and the actions we take throughout the year.

Today, we invite you to Reflect. Learn. Act.

Reflect on what Truth and Reconciliation means to you, your workplace and your community.

Learn from Indigenous-led and trusted sources, and listen to Indigenous voices and perspectives.

Act by supporting Indigenous-led initiatives, amplifying Indigenous voices and considering how you can contribute to reconciliation in your community and workplace.

For resources and more information about the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, explore the Government of Canada’s resources - https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/campaigns/national-day-truth-reconciliation.html

Let’s carry this learning forward and continue building understanding, respect and stronger relationships throughout the year.

This Gender Equality Week, we are looking beyond representation to what helps women grow, advance and lead.

Gender equity doesn't stop at getting women in the door. It also means looking at what happens next: who has opportunities to grow, whose potential is recognized, and who advances into positions of greater responsibility and leadership.

And not all women experience that path in the same way.

For immigrant women, gender can intersect with culture, race, immigrant status and other aspects of identity to shape their experiences and opportunities at work.

Career advancement can also be shaped by expectations that aren't always written down. Be visible. Speak up. Build relationships. Advocate for yourself. Show initiative. Demonstrate "leadership potential."

That raises some important questions for all of us.

Are those expectations equally clear to everyone? How can we make opportunities for growth more visible? And how can we ensure more people have access to the experiences, relationships and feedback that help careers grow?

Through LIFT, TRIEC works with immigrant professionals and managers to make career advancement more transparent and support meaningful conversations about career growth.

Because getting in the door is an important first step. Creating opportunities to move forward matters too.

When Nobel Phipps moved to Canada from the Dominican Republic in 2011, he knew starting over in a new country would come with its challenges.

Today, as a cybersecurity professional, he has built a career and gained firsthand experience navigating Canada’s job market. Now, he is using that experience to help someone else find their way.

For Nobel, mentoring is about more than sharing career advice. It is about helping newcomers recognize the value of the skills, experience and potential they already bring, while giving them the guidance and confidence to navigate their career journey in Canada.

What inspires him most is the opportunity to use his own journey to help another newcomer build a meaningful career in Canada.

Women make up 42.6% of Canadian-born managers in Canada. Among recent immigrant managers, that falls to 32.6%.

This Gender Equality Week, we are reflecting on what it takes to turn opportunity into career advancement.

Gender equality at work is shaped by many factors. Gender can intersect with immigrant status, race and other aspects of identity, influencing how women experience career growth and advancement.

At TRIEC, we have been exploring immigrant women's career advancement for years. Through LIFT, we have continued to learn about the important role that understanding workplace expectations plays in navigating career pathways.

How do you build visibility? Which relationships matter? What does "taking initiative" mean here? How do you signal that you're ready for the next opportunity?

Making these expectations more transparent can help employees navigate their careers with greater confidence. Equipping managers to have clearer, more meaningful career conversations can also help create more opportunities for growth and advancement.

This Gender Equality Week, we encourage employers to reflect on how they can support more women in their workforce to grow, advance and take on leadership opportunities.

Swipe through to explore insights and opportunities for employers to support career advancement.
