Employer Support Programs
Through HILC and MISA, the WINS Program offers employers a variety of services to help tap into the international talent of immigrants in Nova Scotia.
Employer Engager and HR Liaison
This is a first line of contact for listening to the needs of employers across the province and matching them to the best and most effective supports to meet their organizational needs.

Workplace Culture Program
This new program provides managers and staff with training, resources and tools on workplace culture. The program aims to expand employer access to skilled immigrant workers and improve retention across the province.
Contact: Stephanie Douglas at sdouglas@misa.ns.ca
Work Placement Program
An international professional will work with a local employer for 6 weeks, full time at no cost. Employers are able to assess the skills of a potential employee "on-the-job" and the participant obtains Canadian work experience. Insurance is provided by MISA.
"This program has introduced 6 people to our organization. From our perspective, it is a low risk way to evaluate and integrate new talent to our organization"
Host Employer, IT Company
Practice Interview Program
Employers volunteer their time to interview a newcomer professional in their field of work.
"We have some incredibly talented people immigrating to Nova Scotia; we should do all we can to welcome these individuals and encourage them to stay. If working with the fantastic team at MISA goes any way to helping this happen then that is why I am drawn to being a Practice Interviewer".
