We continue to work on the research topic of employers’ perceptions regarding the hiring and management of students who have completed most of their pre-university studies outside of Canada (e.g. international students, new immigrants, Canadians living abroad, etc.).
1. Norah McRae, Cristina Eftenaru, Larry Iles and Earl Anderson presented the results at the ACE/CAFCE/CACEE annual conference in Vancouver in May 28.
2. Nancy Johnston and Norah McRae presented our research at the CBIE’s 51’st annual conference in Halifax in November
3. We are working on the final editing for our submission of the research paper to be submitted to the Asia Pacific Journal for Co-op Education and have submitted an abstract to present
