IKEA Canada announced it has partnered with ACCES Employment to launch a national Refugee Skills for Employment program. The program Pathways to Employment is based on individuals’ needs. Supports include virtual customer service training, paid work placements, one-on-one culture and language coaching, job search strategies, and mentorship from IKEA Canada leaders.
The program, which launched earlier this year, aims to hire 150 refugees within a three-year span and is part of a broader commitment from IKEA globally to reach 2,500 refugees with meaningful employment by 2022.
