As Canada’s labour market faces a shortage of skilled workers, hiring international students has become an attractive option for many employers. With the recent measures announced by the government, international students are now eligible to work over 20 hours per week, allowing them to expand their job opportunities and find more meaningful work experiences beyond typical student jobs.
At Isempower, we specialize in connecting employers with top-quality international student talent. Hiring international students can bring numerous benefits to your organization, such as:
- Diverse perspectives and cultural awareness: International students bring unique insights and perspectives to the workplace, adding value to your organization’s culture and creativity.
- Language skills: Many international students are bilingual or multilingual, making them valuable assets in companies with global reach.
- Technical skills: International students often have a strong background in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields, which are in high demand in today’s job market.
- Increased retention rates: Studies have shown that international students are often more committed to their employers and have higher retention rates than their domestic counterparts.
