CAPE Conferences

Since it initiated the "Engineering Access" Project in June 2003, CAPE has constructively engaged in dialogue and built partnerships with a multitude of stakeholders through a series of roundtables and consultative events. The events have attracted all levels of government, employers, professional associations, regulatory bodies, credential recognition services, academia, community-based service providers and immigrants with engineering backgrounds.

Following from these, in May 2006, CAPE launched its "Canadian First" to "Canada First": A Multi-Stakeholder Employment Strategy for Immigrants with Engineering Backgrounds that was developed through six structured multi-stakeholder roundtables Since June 2006, when CAPE was incorporated, it has been implementing this employment strategy and reorganizing to keep its roundtable partners constructively engaged in a new phase of its work focusing on employment through a series of annual conferences, employer engagement and events, and service community networking events.

CAPE Roundtables

Since the initiation of the "Engineering Access" Project in June 2003, CAPE has constructively engaged in dialogue and built partnerships with a multitude of stakeholders including all levels of government, employers, professional associations, regulatory bodies, credential recognition services, academia, community-based service providers and immigrants with engineering backgrounds.

These stakeholders participated in six structured multi-stakeholder roundtables that resulted in "Canadian First" to "Canada First": A Multi-Stakeholder Employment Strategy for Immigrants with Engineering Backgrounds.
