New on-the-job training program targets newly arrived immigrants

A new employment program aims to train newly arrived immigrants to Montreal and get them hired in their fields of study.
The program, launched by the city of Montreal and the provincial government as a pilot project, works with the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal and four large corporations to help integrate immigrants into the workforce.
The program will allow the companies to hire 12 to 15 employees each, giving them training and then paid work for between 30 and 52 weeks. Th
