CAPE Roundtables

Since the initiation of the "Engineering Access" Project in June 2003, CAPE has constructively engaged in dialogue and built partnerships with a multitude of stakeholders including all levels of government, employers, professional associations, regulatory bodies, credential recognition services, academia, community-based service providers and immigrants with engineering backgrounds.

These stakeholders participated in six structured multi-stakeholder roundtables that resulted in "Canadian First" to "Canada First": A Multi-Stakeholder Employment Strategy for Immigrants with Engineering Backgrounds.

CAPE is now implementing this employment strategy and reorganizing to keep our multi-stakeholder partners constructively engaged in this new phase of its work through a fresh series of roundtables that will comprise of three constituent parts:

• Employer Roundtable
• Community Roundtable
• Policy Roundtable

EMPLOYER Roundtable

The first CAPE employer roundtable was held on March 20, 2007 at the North York Civic Center, sponsored by SkillRoute Canada, a newcomer employment integration solution for Canada.
