“I met Steve through an acquisition, throughout which he did a tremendous job helping our marketing team migrate and re-brand the high-quality product content (blogs, white papers, etc.) he had helped write, edit and develop with SEO best practices. Not only that, Steve served as an exceptional SME for our marketing team--he was the go-to guy for learning about the new product our company had acquired as well as how we should approach its audience of users with our content moving forward. As the post-acquisition process smoothed out, our team asked Steve to stay on longer and shift his role to serving on our field marketing team. He excelled at this, attending industry and customer events, while still helping us with content-related tasks and continuing to serve as an SME within Marketing. Steve is certainly one of the most reliable, most intelligent and kindest people I've encountered in my career. He's multifaceted in his marketing and communications skills and will always be great addition to anyone's team.”

Newcomers to Canada face significant challenges in their attempt to settle in a new home and integrate into Canadian society. One of the most difficult tasks for Canada’s newcomers is the search for employment and, prior to that or concurrently, obtaining the skills necessary to gain meaningful employment. Social workers who assist newcomers on this difficult path must help them to develop strategies for building self-confidence, skills for self-marketing and effective plans for learning how to make the transition to a career in Canada. This article outlines some important work being done in Canada to facilitate recognition of prior learning (RPL) in order to move newcomers more quickly through skills upgrading and into the workforce. The RPL portfolio process allows for the development of client “profiles” that can facilitate skilled immigrants’ rapid movement toward meaningful employment by means of post-secondary education and training or by self-marketing through enhanced self-understanding and self-confidence.
