Dear Participant,
Thank you very much for volunteering for this research project. I'd like to give you some background on the focus group you will be participating in.
My organization, the Canadian Career Development Foundation, was recently hired by the Software Human Resources Council to do a study on the recruitment and retention of new immigrants in the IT Sector.
We have been asked to identify two most effective means, resources, information and tools for reaching new immigrants with career awareness information on the IT industry.
We will be conducting two focus groups with new immigrants (ideally anywhere up to 5 years in Canada, but could stretch to about 8 years). We will discuss with participants the barriers and issues in employment/careers in the IT sector; the strengths and weaknesses of strategies that have attempted to address your career needs; and the effectiveness of tools and resources in recruitment.
We may be asking about such things as workplace culture, necessary supports for working in IT, and what would be considered the roots of success for a career in the industry.
We are happy to have you as a participant in one of two focus groups:
1. NEW IMMIGRANTS who are UNEMPLOYED and seeking work in IT (out of work or a student ready to enter the work force)
2. NEW IMMIGRANTS who are EMPLOYED in IT or have left IT and now work in another field of work
Our focus groups would be approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes with refreshments provided. Location will be at the Ottawa Talent Initiative on April 27. The time is yet to be determined. We will send the questions to you ahead of time so you can think about your personal perspective on them.
If you have any questions, please contact Elaine O'Reilly at 729-6164 ext. 202, e.oreilly@ccdf.ca
Thank you very much,
