@article{Ullah_2015, title={Job Developers’ Training and Employer Education for Integration of Internationally Educated Professionals in the Canadian Labour Market}, volume={14}, url={https://cjcd-rcdc.ceric.ca/index.php/cjcd/article/view/164}, abstractNote={<p><span class="fontstyle0">Job developers promote job seekers including internationally educated professionals to local employers. In order to excel in doing this; they need to be appropriately trained so that they can educate employers about the benefits of hiring internationally educated professionals. In absence of adequate professional training for job developers, government-funded employment agencies need to provide structured on-the-job-training so that job developers become skilled in promoting their clients to employers. This article explores different organizational development ideas, attempts to relate them to a job development framework and suggests that these trainings need to address how to use a sector specific approach. Referring to organizational learning and organizational development concepts, this article establishes that job developers’ trainings also need to apply a data driven, empowering and systems thinking approach as training tools. Denoting the theory of knowledge creation, this article also posits the application of converting tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge and use of research-challenge resistance, resources-rewards approach for educating employers about the benefits of hiring internationally educated professionals.</span></p>}, number={2}, journal={Canadian Journal of Career Development}, author={Ullah, Habib}, year={2015}, month={Sep.}, pages={4–9} }
