York University's Bridging Program for Internationally Educated Professionals (IEP) offers a unique opportunity for employers to collaborate on real-world projects while supporting learners' transition into the Canadian workplace. Participants in this program are motivated individuals who are looking to establish themselves in the Canadian workplace, and upskill their local credentials.

Our learners are from the Management stream. Each student brings over three years of international work experience in managerial or HR roles and is now gaining specialized training in Canadian workplace culture, communication, and business practices.

By collaborating with our learners, your organization will benefit from:

• Expertise in leadership, operations, HR, project management, and organizational behavior.
• Diverse global perspectives and advanced problem-solving skills.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills honed through both international work and Canadian training.
• Up-to-date knowledge of Canadian regulations, equity practices, and management tools .
• Ability to work independently or in teams.

These professionals are ready to support your business needs while gaining meaningful Canadian work experience.

More info about the stream and sample courses can be found here: https://www.yorku.ca/laps/iep/certificate-in-canadian-business/management/

Learners will engage in hands-on, real-world projects that align with their course objectives and career goals. They will apply management and HR concepts learned in the classroom to support your organization’s challenges.

We're open to discussing alternative formats for deliverables to ensure alignment with both project requirements and learning objectives. Examples include:

Outcomes:

• Learners will analyze, research, and implement solutions based on your project scope.
• They will gain Canadian work experience, industry exposure, and practical insights into local business operations.

Deliverables:

Depending on the project, typical deliverables may include:

• A written project report or recommendations
• Presentations or debriefs (live via Zoom or recorded video)
• Policy or training manuals
• Workflow or process maps
• Job descriptions or compensation plans
• Strategic HR or management plans
• Survey analysis or data dashboards

Deliverables will be co-developed with employer input and finalized at the project outset.
