We are TRIEC, a not-for-profit on a mission to fast-track skilled newcomers into careers, not just jobs Canada thrives when professionals can put their education, expertise, and ambition to work. Yet too much immigrant talent gets sidelined by barriers that have nothing to do with skill. We are here to change that.

We do this by building bold, innovative solutions that connect immigrants to the labour market - and by bringing together the people who make that possible: employers, community organizations, government, and the broader ecosystem. As recognized leaders in this space, we don't just participate in the conversation - we convene it.

For employers, TRIEC is a trusted partner. We help you tap into a deep pool of immigrant talent, meet emerging workforce needs, and build workplaces where diversity and inclusion aren't just values on a wall - they're part of how you operate. From talent recruitment to retention, from professional networks to inclusive culture, we equip you with the programs and resources to get it right.
